Review
"Undertow" is a nice sequel to "Dragonfly." I don't think it was as good as "Dragonfly" however I think it was a decent sequel. The story picks up where "Dragonfly" left off. Anna starts reading the journals that Bill gave her so that she can see where the story takes off.I felt bad for Meg because she seemed completely oblivious to her situation. Meg wanted this perfect world. A great husband, great children, a wonderful life and she thought that she had it all but in reality she didn't, she just couldn't see the problems that where going on. Meg seemed so carefree, so it made reading the rest of the novel a little painful because it was hard to see her go through the hard times that she did because she didn't deserve any of it.
It was very hard to relate to Alex since she cheated on her best friend. It was really hard to not judge her. Alex just wanted to enjoy life and she really didn't mean to hurt anyone. Isn't that how most mistakes go? People don't usually try to hurt other people however it still happens. I think Alex had a great voice in the story. I wish she didn't make the choice that she did.
Bill. I didn't feel sorry for Bill at all. He made his choices and he knew what he was doing. Bill wanted to be on top of the world and he wanted to have everything. "Undertow" definitely gives the reader another perspective on Bill. I didn't like him at all in "Dragonfly" however even though he cheated and he deserves the consequences that he gets, things are very different in "Undertow."
I really liked "Undertow" and I am very excited for "Watercolor" to come out. I can't wait to finish up the trilogy and see where everyone's life goes.
I give "Undertow" four out of five bookshelves.
