Editoral Review
In the book, “Seeking Her,” Cora Carmack explores the complexities of young love and self-discovery. This book, first published on January 28, 2014, is the fifth installment in Carmack’s “Losing It” series.
The book appeals to readers of the romance and young adult genres. The book tells the story of Kelsey Summers, a college student who is on a mission to clear her head from the recent events in her life.
Kelsey decides to take a break from school and go on a road trip. Along the way, she meets two young men who change her life in different ways.
The first is Jackson Hunt, a mysterious and handsome stranger who saves Kelsey from a potentially dangerous situation on the side of the road. Together, the two embark on a journey of self-discovery and romantic intrigue.
The second is Mark Reynoso, an old acquaintance from Kelsey’s past who she reconnects with during her trip. Mark reminds Kelsey of who she used to be and the person she wants to become.
As her trip comes to an end, Kelsey is left to navigate her feelings for both men and decide what she truly wants in life. Carmack’s writing style is engaging and easy to read, making the book a page-turner.
Carmack masterfully develops her characters, giving them depth, nuance, and distinct personalities. The author also explores complex themes of self-discovery and the search for identity, resonating with the book’s intended audience.
One of the book’s strengths is its pacing. Carmack’s narrative moves at an excellent speed, never lingering too long on any particular scene or plot point.
This helps to maintain the reader’s interest, as the story consistently shifts and evolves. However, one of the book’s limitations is its lack of originality.
As the fifth book in the series, “Seeking Her” rehashes some of the same plot points and character developments from the previous installments. Although the book can stand alone, readers familiar with the series may find it repetitive.
Overall, “Seeking Her” is an enjoyable read that will appeal to fans of romantic and young adult fiction. The book receives a score of 3.5 out of 5.
Though it may not be the most groundbreaking book in its genre, it is well-written and entertaining. Readers looking for a light and enjoyable read should consider giving “Seeking Her” a chance.
