Review: Storm Cloud by J.S. Jasper
/About the Book
Even if it’s difficult sometimes, Sophie loves the winter.
The bright sunny days that are few and far between, the crisp morning air and the blush on people’s cheeks. It’s her favourite time of year. On the tough days, the days when the sky is so dark she wonders if she’s stuck in perpetual night time- all she really needs to see is the sun.
Though she’ll never tell anyone that.
Not until he walks into her bookstore.
And Sophie decides he looks like sunshine.
Review
Storm Cloud felt like a cozy Hallmark, low-stakes novella. It was cute, charming, and sometimes predictable. I enjoyed myself while reading. The author does a very good job of establishing Sophie as a character. Right from the beginning, it’s very clear who Sophie is as a character, and her reasoning for being hesitant about Lukas is obvious. Most novellas try to skip out on character development and focus on getting to the romance. This would not operate that way. I’m thankful. I enjoyed Sophie as a character.
Unfortunately, Lukas does not get as much development as Sophie. He felt very much like the “perfect book boyfriend” and didn’t feel quite as fleshed out as Sophie. Despite that, I did enjoy him and their romance.
Final Thoughts
Storm Cloud is a cozy, refreshing read—fitting since it mainly takes place within a bookstore.
