Echoes: A College Contemporary Romance (Remington Carter Book 1)

Firstly, this book is definitely intriguing. I'm definitely continuing this series for now.First issue is the editing. Needs work.Second issue is the dialog. College kids don't sound like these people. Sometimes the speech is stuffy and robotic.Third issue is the female lead. Remi's character is stunted. I believe she comes off as strange because the author didn't want to reveal any future plot points in regards to Remi's past. She was also not very kind to Eli. Pretty hateful sometimes and it was off-putting.Last issue is the beginning of the book where Remi is describing herself and other women. There are hints of body shaming and I hate that. Also, she did the whole thinly veiled 'I'm not like other girls' bit. I would just like to point out that women are allowed to not enjoy things without belittling women who DO like those things.I think this author has some serious potential to make this series something fresh compared to what we've seen before. I'm excited to meet the new guys and get a better read on Adam.

This book gave off Wattpad writing style. It seemed rushed in some areas and then very slow and boring and others. I think the fact that both the female MC and one of the male MC is relationship is very juvenile even though they were in college. Like they were moments where they were getting super upset at each other and then five seconds later we’re like over it and all in love(after two months of kinda dating).The FMC was very wishy-washy which I get the author is trying to set this up for it to be a reverse harem and her not having to choose but, it was very choppy the way it’s been done. Like I’m not even sure if I’m gonna finish the series just because the writing wasn’t all that great. Like the storyline in the plot isn’t exciting enough to make me wanna continue, it was just kind of meh at best.

This story definitely got my attention! I like Remi’s confidence in herself and that she sticks with her choices. She doesn’t go along to get along if it’s something important to her. I’m intrigued by her history with the other guys, and the mystery surrounding her dad. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

This seemed like a quick read to me but it's very well written and I'm invested in the characters. Can't wait to see where this aol goes! On to book 2!!!

This was a did not finish for me. In the beginning it hopes pov to much for me. And I only made it to 37% because I just couldn’t get over Eli childish attitude. And this book is just beginning I can’t imagine how bad it will get.

Could use some editing for it to reach its full potential, add in more of the missing father mystery, too, and it'd be really good. That being said, I did enjoy this. Finished it in half a day (with MANY interruptions), so it's a quick, easy read. It was a nice palate cleanser from my usual heavy reading. I will be reading the next books.

I’m hooked on Emma Cole’s writing. This book is a great read. It grabs your attention and doesn’t let go. I’m reading the next one immediately.

I just could not finish this book. The writing is all over the place. Starting with the prologue. The prologue is so vague it’s confusing, and not in an interesting way. The storyline is rushed and sometimes makes no sense. The FMC doesn’t have very many qualities that I liked. Eli is so cringy. I’m not sure how this will turn into a RH and quite honestly don’t care. You can see the “big” reveal of the roommates coming from a mile away. Not interested in finishing.

My first read by Emma Cole and I found her writing style leaves me slightly confused and have to sometimes reread a paragraph. Almost as if the story doesn't follow correctly. But despite the confusion and slow start, I found the story intriguing. Low on drama, action and spice, yet entertaining and engaging.Remi is humble, almost naive timid but not. Eli is sweet, and understanding. They entwine well.A definite 3 ½ stars.

How have I taken so long to jump into this series!Love Emma Cole’s writing in previous books and boy this is brilliant….. queue diving into book two…Do it…. Jump in!!

A great start to a new series by Emma Cole, the character’s were easy to connect and relate to and the story was easy to get into. A change to read a contemporary r/h book and was really well written. Would totally recommend to other readers

Ok there is a hard question mark at the end of my “I enjoyed it…?” Statement. I’ll give it 3.5 stars but bump it up to 4 because I will continue on to book 2.It had an acceptable plot, a fairly good mystery and a great back bone moment with Bricker where Remi gives great attitude that slightly redeemed her otherwise wishy-washy personality. However, that was all buried under a lot of terrible internal ramblings that continued to change every page, a very basic, boring interaction with the obligatory “mean girl”, And a lot of unnecessary emotional flip flopping during conversations.The conversations came across very sterile and need to be reworked so they don’t seem so forced and a whole lot of fun needs to be pumped into this book! Every interaction seemed like really bad drama school acting and the lines were being delivered with no soul.The mystery of Adam and the disappearance is enough to keep me reading the remaining books in the series and I hope the development gets better!!

I really enjoyed this story and am going into the next book straight away. The only thing that stopped it from being 5☆ is because it's a bit of a mess to read and needs to be formatted properly. It kind of put me off.Apart from that, the story is awesome.
