I was really excited about Mercury, but the book fell flat for me. The characters (Joseph family: father Mick, Mother Elise, Brothers Baylor, Waylon and Shay and Marley who married Waylon) were all forgettable and unlikeable. I didn’t relate to any of the characters or their family “issues.”
The plot moved so very slowly and there was not a lot of entertainment or engaging story elements. Marley dates Baylor and then ends up marrying Waylon and forever is trying to feel apart of the family by running the family roofing business.
I found myself struggling to pick up the book to continue and I couldn’t wait for it to end. I would give Mercury three stars as it was a well written story and there were parts of the story I enjoyed, but overall it just wasn’t fast paced enough to peak my interest.
I don’t think this will be a book I will remember in the future.
