Review: The Opposite of Here

The Opposite of Here by Tara Altebrando
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Natalie’s parents have decided that she should have a seventeenth sail-a-bration. Natalie, her parents and three of her closest friends will take a cruise to celebrate her birthday. It has only been a few months since her boyfriend died in a car accident and everyone wants her to find peace and maybe move on. What better place than on a floating hotel? Natalie has an instant attraction the first night, but then there seems to be some confusion about the boy and she is wondering if it is all a game. The mystery behind this boy becomes even more complicated as Natalie learns about his past.

The Opposite of Here is a stand-alone novel that leaves a lot to be desired. Many times throughout the book I found my mind wandering and had to back up a few pages. This book is relatively short, so it would make a good car or beach read. With that said, The Opposite of Here would be a good distraction if choices were limited, but I do not recommend everyone read it. Altebrando has shined with her other books and I look forward to her next novel.
