Kellie’s challenge throughout this book is learning to look at situations from others’ perspectives. And although the novel is told from Kellie’s perspective, there is a balance of Kellie’s inner monologue and her conversations with the many interesting people in her life. Spalding writes clear and realistic dialogue that helps me better understand each character. Ink is Thicker Than Water was strong in the dialogue department, and that made me a big fan of this book. I want witty, smart, and thoughtful conversations amongst a strong cast of characters. Review: One of the key components I crave when reading realistic fiction is great dialogue. Who would we give it to? This book will comfort anyone experiencing family drama – and around this time of year, isn’t that everyone? If you will be facing a relative who constantly gets on your nerves, reading about Kellie’s family negotiations may inspire you to be diplomatic during family holiday interactions. And the whole novel has a sex positive tone, which is rare and wonderful. Kellie and her sister are both smart and fiercely independent young women. Kellie’s mom quit her tedious job as a paralegal and became a tattoo artist who co-owns her own shop. Kellie, her mother, and her sister are all Slatebreakers. The significance of the placement of the tattoo comes up in the book as something meaningful for Kellie, so it’s nice to see that reflected in the cover image.ĭoes it break the slate? Absolutely. I love the tattooed title on the girl’s bicep. Available December 3.įace Value: I haven’t seen the published cover yet, but the cover image available online is pretty good (despite the partially beheaded girl). Ink is Thicker Than Water by Amy Spalding.
