Review: Grounded

Grounded by R.K. Lilley

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



The final installment was much more interesting and less annoying than the 2nd installment of the Up in the Air series. Bianca is by far one of my least favourite heroines of all time. I do understand that she was "damaged" for a long time and she has security and self esteem issues but by the third book I was disappointed that it took her so long to gain confidence in herself and her relationship with James. It was frustrating and annoying because of how many times all the people around her, including James, kept telling her she's beautiful and strong and a talented artist. Even at the end of the series I felt like she never actually accepted.

There is a happy ending to the story so I was as frustrated anymore by the end of it but the series as a whole is not as great as I expexted it to be. The sex is amazing of course, the plot was interesting, but the main characters' development was really lacking. Even her gay best friend seemed to grow more despite being a supporting character.

Oh well, the third book ended the story well and there was closure for everyone so it was a satisfactory conclusion to all of the anger and frustration I felt for the 2nd book. 3/5 stars
