![]() ![]() ![]() But though there are some fire hazard-worthy sparks between Kate and her new beau Vincent, Plum doesnt go the who catharsis-and-redemption-through-love route. ![]() Until she happens across a striking young man who rather quickly diverts her attention. While Georgia manages her grief by hitting the town and getting involved with all sorts of questionable types, introvert Kate spends her days reading and reflecting. Struggling to deal with their parents sudden death, Kate Mercier and her sister Georgia are sent to live with their grandparents in Paris. Yes, its somewhat formulaic, but Plums writing and plotting is strong enough that this is a solid read all around. Its not, certainly, a title that fills the reader with hope about whats to come, and I had some concerns that Die For Me'would retrace the highly problematic relationship ground touched on by Twilight.'But while Plum does give us the requisite sacrifice-oneself-for-love scene, and the love interest gets a tad too possessive for my liking, for the most part this novel stands head and shoulders above the morass of romantic martyrdom weve been tormented with on so regular a basis of late. I have to admit that the title of Amy Plums debut was enough for me to shuffle it to the bottom of my ridiculously long to-read pile. ![]()
