My Opinion –
Opposite of Always is a quick, easy romance/sci-fi novel, that hooked me from the beginning. The author, Justin A. Reynolds, created characters that possessed traits we see in ourselves and showed us as the audience how far we were willing to go to for love. Reynolds expresses the power of love through her characters Jack King and Kate. She builds an enticing plot and storyline, and the story seems to flow along pretty well. Overall, I really enjoyed reading Opposite of Always, and I highly recommend it to those interested in romance novels.
