About the Book

And seventeen when I lost him.

Now, five years later, the boy from my past is a man standing in front of me. Only, how do I tell him about the greatest gift he ever gave me?

Hart

Seventeen when she became my everything.

And nineteen when I lost her.

Review

I don’t know what I was expecting with this one, but it wasn’t what was presented in this book. In summary, Written in the Ink is about two teenagers who are obsessed with each other when they are teenagers. When Diem gets pregnant, instead of telling Hart about the baby, her and her parents skip town. The reasoning isn’t very clear. Six years later, they end up in the same town as Hart, and he accidentally finds out that he has a kid. I expected an emotional reunion between the two, and that isn’t what happened at all.

To me, everything happened too fast, and it left no time to let the emotional parts breathe. combined with the fact that both characters were frustrating and dull at times. I kept reading expecting something good would happen, but it unfortunately never came. Instead, what came was an unnecessary other woman drama, that felt a little frustrating for how it added nothing to the plot and how it unraveled.

Final Thoughts

Written in the Ink had two frustrating and dull main characters, where not even the second chance romance or a cute kid could save it.
