My second BOoMCZ (the most awkward acronym ever…) is kind of based on how much fun I had participating in #LGBTApril. I’m currently halfway through Throne of Glass ( Breaking Out of My Comfort Zone #1‘s winner), so I can’t say for sure whether the experiment worked or not, but so far I’m absolutely loving it and am really excited to finally have started another fantasy series that I think is awesome. Each Breaking Out of My Comfort Zone post will be focused on a specific genre - I’ll be sharing my past experiences with it and asking for advice in choosing new books to read. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.This feature is all about trying out new genres of books that I wouldn’t necessarily be motivated to read on my own. the prose is lively and even musical (fitting, for the themes at play), and the connection between Jack and Sutton is depicted so fully and with such feeling that it almost doesn't matter where we are: New York, Sao Paolo, or The Twilight Zone, a good love story should choke you up and make you laugh in triumph. Tamara Allen's lively book Whistling in the Dark is a touching love story about two young men, just back from World War I, who find each other in New York City in the autumn of 1919. Tamara Allen has peopled her story with diverse and colorful characters, villains and good guys alike, and keeps the reader involved with a series of subplots that, in my mind, could have filled yet another book. It's a great complement to a host of very real, very human characters.
Dingy alleys, grimy walls, rundown apartments, cluttered shops, Ida's restaurant and her home-cooked meals - we get to see, smell, feel, taste, and hear everything.
Engaging all our senses with details that help fix us firmly in the characters world, Allen manages to capture a very real city at a specific point in its history.
