Book Review: Next Stop Nina by Robin Raven
Disclaimer: I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of this
book from the author in exchange for an HONEST review.
Next Stop: Nina is a book that tackles serious issues like
suicide and depression but at the same it has a science fiction element to it with
the time travel, which is very interesting and different from the usual books I
typically read. I love the concept and plot but I did not like the way it was
delivered by the Ms. Robin Raven. In the sense that it left me with a lot of
unanswered questions, which should have be answered as I was reading the book.
I wished the author elaborated more about the Nina’s past/childhood, (so that
the reader could fully understand her, what led her to be the person she is
currently, and the family dynamics she had) and the revelation in the car.
Also, the book did not have a good transition between chapters; it left with a
few open-ended chapters. The story line was just all around. I mean I get that
it is meant to be that way since she is time traveling but it was just
confusing, since like I said earlier it left me with a lot of unanswered
questions like what happened to penny? What did Nina’s ex said to the mystery
guy that led him to kill Nina? And I want to know more about the time traveling
group that the mystery guy was saying to Nina in the car.
In terms of the writing, I love how it was poetically written
with quotes like “Happiness is sustainable if you don’t compromise who your
really are…” and “That kind of love can survive, but it has to get more flexible
as it grow stronger. Otherwise, it becomes unhealthy and only sustainable at an
unbearable expense to the two people who love so strongly.” The writing just
speaks to me, and makes me reflect on those beautifully written words. There
are some grammatical errors throughout the book but I’m not strict of that
because everyone makes mistakes.
Furthermore, the characterization of Nina was on point she
was very relatable we see her as a flawed character but she accepted her flaws
at the end, which makes her human. The romance aspect of the book was also
good. Nina and Lens are not the perfect character but the two of them together
made them perfect. They compliment on another. They might fight once in a while
but at the end they still love onw another. Overall, I still enjoyed the book
and I thank Ms. Robin Raven for giving me an opportunity to read this book.
To Ms. Robin Raven, I can’t wait to read more from your book
and I wish you the success you deserve. Thank you so much.
