My Review:
Let me just tell you rarely does a book really leave me absolutely speechless. *GASP, SILENCE*
Well that's exactly what The Evolution of Ivy: Poison did. It left me wondering what the hell just happened?! And the fact that it was Miss Lauren's first book, is what makes it so much more astonishing.
Not only was it written like a professional but it was unlike anything I have ever read before.
And the fact that she wrote it in 3 weeks, I mean WHAT!? How did she even breathe let alone write.
Lauren really makes you love a character that the reader should hate.
But oh how I loved the crazy af, Ivy. She was unlike any heroine I have ever read.
And the thing I loved most about her was her was her brutal honesty. She was not afraid to be a b!tch, selfish or conniving. She hides nothing from the reader.
And boy does she do some crazy sh!t.
Some crazy stuff that is hard to read but somehow you can't stop.
From the first page you are drawn into the crazy world of Ivy.
I read this in one sitting, I was glued to the pages which are full of deception, crazy sh!t and surprises that will leave you crying on the floor wondering what just happened.
Lauren, you absolutely blew me away.
Not only was The Evolution of Ivy: Poison well written but it was unique.
And the most amazing thing was that this was your debut novel.
Kudos, to you!
I cannot wait to read the second one, hurry up! I NEED IT! :)
Highly recommend this to anyone who loves a book full of twists and turns that you will not expect.
This is not your mothers cookie cutter romance book.
About the Author:
Lauren Campbell lives in Atlanta, GA, with her family, and is
author of The Evolution of Ivy: Poison.
She was raised in Columbia, SC, with her three sisters who annoy
her greatly.
An avid reader since early childhood, Lauren discovered her love
for writing several years into owning a successful newborn photography
business. After reaching out to author Colleen Hoover in 2013 for advice,
Lauren painstakingly pieced together a heap of garbage loosely based on her
personal life that she decided to trash. After one year of being on hiatus,
Lauren subsequently came up with the idea for Poison after being inspired by a
photo on the internet. She wrote Poison in three weeks. It is not a heap of
garbage, has no personal ties, and is filled with characters Lauren cares more
for than some of the real people in her life. But don't tell anyone that.
Lauren's social life is pretty boring, but she loves reading,
coffee & hot tea, and living in her pajamas. She's a glutton for
punishment, and regrettably signs up for things like Room Mom in her children's
classes, leaving her up all night doing things like baking dozens of cookies
between swear words. Her favorite food is avocado. If she could, she'd find a
way to put it on everything.
Lauren
is done writing in third person now. (I'm lame, I know.)
