CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, AND DEVELOPMENT:
Author Brooke Williams, created an entertaining book in The Leftover. Having read other books with this story-line, I thought I would not care to read another book with the same old theme. However, I’m thrilled to say, I loved this book. Including a variety of personalities, scheming in the background, back stabbing galore, conniving, some good people, some really obnoxious, arrogant selfish ones, and then to round out the contestants, sweet shy Megan. Developing each of her characters to their full potential, I found myself hating Andrew; he’s arrogant, egotistical, and a bully. What a character Brooke Williams crafted in Andrew. I wanted to “tell him off” during most of the book. Other characters you will love; as each proves they are good people and better friends.
