Shannon’s Thoughts

REBOUND is the story of Boomerang CEO Adam Blackwell and Allison Quick, the daughter of the investor who’s going to help Adam make a new company, Blackwell Entertainment, a reality. Both of them had an agenda: Adam, to make his company successful and Allison, to prove to her father that she had business sense. But they ended up discovering a whole lot more about themselves and each other that didn’t involve bottom lines.

This story was cute and I liked Adam and Allison together, but I had a hard time connecting with the story. Maybe it was the fact that both of these characters seemed to have so much at such a young age. Maybe it was the business with Allison’s father and his underhanded cliched way of getting what he wants. There was just something I couldn’t connect with. That doesn’t mean that this isn’t a story other would enjoy (if you look at the review, others obviously have). Adam and Allison did have chemistry together and that was what had me continuing to turn the pages, even if I didn’t really care what came next.
