A Joyfully Jay review.

2.75 stars

A soap opera-esque story with over the top drama and a hint of the paranormal, all taking place in a town where there are only men. Just the description had me intrigued, and I was fully on board with getting involved in this world. Unfortunately for me, this story fell short in just about every way.

So the characters were the best part of the story. I didn’t all of them, of course, just for personal preference. And I felt that some of them could have been fleshed out more to really understand their thoughts and motivations. But in a serial this, one which is continuing in a second season, I could forgive a lot of that as they will continue to develop as the story goes on. Rafe was endearingly quirky, in a closed off way, but he was beginning to come into his own. Paris had no filter, and his raw honesty and the layers to his character were great to see. Simon was struggling, but so earnest. Alexei a bright pop of color. The author does a good job of having a very diverse cast, and that definitely worked to the story’s advantage. As much as I d the characters, though, I did have a problem with their general attitude. They all seemed to be overly emotional, and while that in and of itself isn’t a problem, when it was the entire cast in most situations, it got to be way too much.
