You Have Seven Messages

By Stewart Lewis


Barnes and Noble Overview
It's been a year since Luna's mother, the fashion-model wife of a successful film director, was hit and killed by a taxi in New York's East Village. Luna, her father, and her little brother, Tile, are still struggling with grief.
When Luna goes to clean out her mother's old studio, she's stunned to find her mom's cell phone there—charged and holding seven unheard messages. As Luna begins to listen to them, she learns more about her mother's life than she ever wanted to know . . . and she comes to realize that the tidy tale she's been told about her mother's death may not be the whole truth.

My Review
I don't really have much to say.  If you read the description of the book, it sounds like a really interesting read -  like a mystery.   However, I found it to be slow and dull.  I felt like the characters lacked depth and I didn't really get to know them. I also thought the romance was underdeveloped.  I finished this book only because I kept thinking there would be something more to the plot - a shocking ending, an unpredictable turn - something! However, it was anything but unpredictable.  The only thing that made this novel longer than 10 pages, was that she kept delaying listening to these messages.  What person does that?!? I would have listened to all of them all at once - mystery solved!

1/5 Stars
