Sweet Little Thing by Abbi GlinesMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Beulah loved her life with her mom and sister. Putting her mom passed away and gave her a mysterious woman's name, Beulah had to trust her mother's last wishes and put her at her sisters life in the strangers hand.
Life wasn't glamorous but Beulah made it work and always looked on the bright side of life rather than focusing on the negative. Things are going well until Portia's son Jasper came home. That is when Beulah learned that Jasper is actually in control of everything from his father's will and now she has to see if she can still be employed and live there now.
Jasper seems like a party boy and all his friends are very rich and elite and look down on Beulah. But the more Beulah gets to know Jasper the more she realizes that he's not what he appears to be.
But there are secrets that are hiding from Jasper, his mother, and Beulah and soon those secrets are going to come to light and everything will change for all of them.
Oh Abbi Glines... I love your stories. I really do. But I'm having a hard time lately with Glines's novels that she's written lately. I knew reading the description that this was going to be a knock off of Fallen Too Far series. I just wish that it really wasn't. And of course I love the original series more than this one so I was a bit annoyed and upset that this was so similar to Blaire and Rush's story.
Beulah is an amazing character who always looks in the bright side which I can definitely admire. And I love how much she adores and loves her sister Heidi and her mother when she was alive. She is a character that people should strive to be more like because there is not a selfish bone in her body. Other than that the other characters were just annoying or snobby and treated Beulah like trash.
And of course there's a cliffhanger ending that will make everybody (who hasn't read Blaire's story) jaws drop. But I knew that a game-changer was going to happen and I'm honestly not interested in finding out how it gets resolved. I know how Blaire and Rush figured out their life so I'm assuming that Beulah and Jasper will have a similar story. It was a good enough story and if I hadn't read the previous series first I may have fallen in love with this and need to know more about these characters. But for now I can say that I read this book and leave it at that.
I'm still having hope that future novels from Glines will be more original and unique since I adore her previous novels. At some point though if it continues the way it has been I may have to stop reading Glines's novels which makes me very sad.
