A to Z (Coda Books #2) - Contemporary Romance Novel for Book Lovers - Perfect for Reading at Home, Travel & Book Club Discussions

Once again, Marie Sexton has created an interesting and satisfying read with A to Z, the second book of the Coda series. Although I didn't think this book was as good as her first one, Promises, it is still worthy of recommendation to anyone looking for something with endearing characters and thought-out plot. Her two stars, Zach and Angelo, are 3-Dimensional; they each have their own distinct personalities and voices, magnified by the story's alternating points of view (which Sexton handles well). The only thing I didn't like was how Sexton wrote Tom in the story. His relationship with Zach seemed extremely fast-paced and somewhat unbelievable. While readers will understand his role in the story after reading it a bit, he was still an off-putting and awkward character. I also wish Sexton would have gone into more depth about Angelo's past, but she provides enough information throughout the book to give readers a good understanding of his actions and motives. Perhaps she tackles his childhood in her two novellas about Zach and Angelo. I also liked how Jared and Matt made an appearance in this book and even helped move the plot along. Sexton has a knack for creating stories and I love her character development. She is definitely an author I will keep my eye on and I can't wait to see what other works she puts out. If you read her first book, Promises, and loved it then you should definitely check this one out. It won't leave you disappointed.
