UGH! I'm thinking I may have rated this book to high, but then again it wasn't that bad. This rating/grade is pretty much reflective of it's mediocrity. It wasn't good, it wasn't bad. Beautiful language, fun descriptions, interesting situations. No plot, random and half-developed characters. Those were the main pros and cons for this book that are popping up right now.

This book wasn't long but for some reason it felt like it took forever to get through and I think that was the main reason I didn't like the book as much. I believe the reason behind this book feeling like such a long read was that there was no clear thing carrying the novel along, not character, not story. It was disconnected and didn't flow so I was constantly wondering where it was going, what was happening? That could have possibly been remedied had I been attatched the characters but I wasn't. I didn't like any of them, they weren't interesting nor were they sympathetic.

But like I said, the book is mediocre. If you're still determined to read the book feel free, it's average and nothing special, at least for me, maybe it will be different for you.

Lisa Faye This is the review I wish I had wrote. Well said!


message 2: by Sue (new) - rated it 3 stars

Sue I agree, I'd just like to add that it's very sentimental, and not always believable, especially the ending.


Ainslye Gilligan I enjoyed the book but I agree with your comments. And the ending seemed like the author just got bored with the story and had to put it to an end. Teenagers in love would have behaved differently : )


Angela De Lucia I have to agree, I was thinking maybe 2 and half stars but gave it three .it left me feeling flat by the end ,I didn't feel as though the writer have us the opportunity to get to know any of the caractures in depth.
