Book Review on Something’s Amiss by Yawatta Hosby
Something’s
Amiss is a women’s fiction novella with romantic elements throughout it. I
really enjoyed it.
Oliver and Poe used to date, but when Poe realized he wanted
to have children, she ended their relationship and moved out of state. She
started a new life and eventually entered into another relationship.
When Poe’s
best friend Jenna—who is also Oliver’s cousin—dies in a car accident, Poe flies
back home for the funeral and to be there for Jenna’s husband Dominic, who Poe
is good friends with as well. When she arrives, Oliver is there to pick her up
at the airport and old feelings start to take hold of Poe. Oliver insist on her
staying with his mom, who loves Poe and wants them to get back together. At
first, Poe objects to his offer, but then gives in.
When Poe
visits Dominic, she agrees to take care of his 4 year old daughter Raven, so he
can have some time to himself to process everything and grieve. To Poe’s
surprise, she bonds with her goddaughter. She never wanted kids and thought she
lacked the maternal instinct, but her time with Raven shows her otherwise.
Yawatta did
an excellent job on writing in the mindset of a toddler. I really enjoyed this
character.
Oliver’s
girlfriend Kate is a handful. Yawatta did a great job writing this character as
well. Kate is something else. She’s impossible and quite annoying. I love how Oliver
handles the situation. He’s still in love with Poe and determined to make
things right with her again, all the while dealing with the loss of his cousin
and the drama Kate tries to inflict upon his life.
Meanwhile,
Poe is conflicted with her own feelings. She discovers she’s still in love with
Oliver; however, she has a boyfriend at home waiting for her, not to mention
she too is heartbroken over Jenna’s sudden death.
I think
Something’s Amiss is a good read. I hope Yawatta does a follow up book on this story, because I want to see what happens next.
I would recommend it to anyone who loves
these types of stories.
