Since You've Been Gone

"Since you've been gone" was my first book by Anouska Knight and I have been looking forward to the book. The premise sounded great and I am a sucker for those chicklit covers. The start into the book was a bit bumpy and I had some trouble getting into the story. After a while it got a bit better and I enjoyed the story a little bit more. Besides a few funny scenes the book had too many flaws for me. One big point is the lack of emotion. I never had the feeling that Holly was still suffering from her loss, this was only metioned in and around her dreams, but that was not enough. The love story developed without chemistry between Holly and Cieran, without emotions and just felt too forced for me. Another point is my missing connection with the charaters. They felt very distant and there was no chemistry between the couple. The story itself was dragging and just couldn't keep my interest. The writing style itself was good and easy to read.
