The Opposite of Addie: A Novel (Friendship & Secrets) by Julie C. Gardner – Review by Angela Hayes

The Opposite of Addie by Julie C. Gardner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Opposite Of Addie: A Novel (Friendships & Secrets Series) by Julie C. Gardner. This is a women’s fiction story- full of secrets, second chances, emotion, friendship, family, healing, drama, and more.
After reading Forgetting Ophelia, I was quite interested in finding out how this story would unfold, and Ms. Gardner didn’t disappoint. There are a lot of interconnected details and enlightening backstory bridging the two books, as well as important character introductions and information- so reading them both, together, will definitely give you a much better perspective of things, and therefore, will also improve your reading experience.
I had a little trouble getting into the groove with this story, but I after a few chapters I finally found the rhythm and got caught up in all the developments. If you have read Forgetting Ophelia, then you know that the characters are really well crafted, with their own all fully developed personalities and backstories- and one of the things I particularly like about this book/series, is the fact that Ms. Gardner ensures that her characters continue to grow and develop as the story progresses.
The Opposite of Addie is told from multiple character perspectives, giving us a really well-rounded view of what is happening- while also adding an extra element of interest to the book.

Thank-you, Julie C. Gardner!
