I Won’t Go Back to My Family Who Abandoned Me Novel Review

My Thoughts on I Won’t Go Back to My Family Who Abandoned Me

"I Won’t Go Back to My Family Who Abandoned Me" promises a tale of tragedy turned triumph, and while it delivers on some fronts, I found it a mixed bag overall. The premise hooked me: Leticia, a kind-hearted soul ostracized by her ability-obsessed family, finds a new home and perhaps, a little revenge. But the execution left me wanting more depth.

First Impressions

Initially, I was completely drawn in. The emotional setup is strong, and I immediately empathized with Leticia's plight. Watching her family slowly reveal their cruelty was agonizing, and I was eager to see her rise above it all. The beginning definitely hits those emotional notes hard.

What Works Well

The found-family aspect is genuinely heartwarming. Leticia's relationship with the Achilles siblings felt authentic, and I enjoyed seeing her build a life filled with genuine affection. Enoch, the male lead, is also a highlight. He's a genuinely kind person, and his sweet chemistry with Leticia added a pleasant, fluffy element to the story. I also appreciated that the author focuses on reaping what you sow, redemption and personal growth, not on revenge itself.

Areas of Concern

However, as the story progressed, I started to notice some cracks. Leticia, while initially sympathetic, sometimes felt too passive. While some readers found her realistic character development strong, I struggled with her constant push and pull with her old family and ex-fiancee. The plot, at times, felt predictable. While I enjoyed watching Leticia's family face the consequences of their actions, the way their downfall was executed felt somewhat forced and relied too heavily on luck.

Final Verdict

"I Won’t Go Back to My Family Who Abandoned Me" is a decent read if you're looking for a relatively uncomplicated story with a sweet romance and a satisfying dose of vindication. However, if you prefer morally grey characters and complex plots, this might not be for you. I'd say it's a solid 3 out of 5 stars – enjoyable but not particularly memorable.
