Book Review: The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake.

Just don't expect it to be too different from the Titanic story we all know and love. I had too many problems with Fateful to give it a whole-hearted recommendation, but would recommend it to fans of YA. With an OverDrive account, you can save your favorite libraries for at-a-glance information about availability. I thought the development of the secondary characters was excellent and they really made the book for me. I especially liked the doomed romance between Ned and Irene. What I did like about Fateful was the development of the love story and the way Gray writes emotion. I'm all for happily ever afters, but not at the cost of the plot's integrity. But what bothered me the most, by far, was the ending. I was expecting something on the same level of Gray's Evernight series, and was disappointed in Fateful. I felt for Tess but was not truly invested in her story. I felt like the story moved slowly and was hard to get into. Some of the similarities are: a privileged young woman forced to marry someone to increase her family's wealth, a lost item of value, a man in a position of power who abuses his power, and doomed romances.ĭespite these similarities, Fateful is not a bad book. Which seemed to be all I needed, as Fateful is very similar to James Cameron's Titanic.

I know no historically accurate facts about the Titanic-therefore all I have to compare the events in Fateful to is Titanic the movie. All I know about the sinking of the Titanic, I learned from the movie Titanic (which I watched quite often as a teen).
