** spoiler alert ** "No one will fall in love" per the publisher review. That hooked me. I thought THAT would be a creative angle for this sort of novel. But EVERYBODY fell in love, and this turned out to be just another cliched romance with cliched characters: a self-absorbed, insecure, hyperemotional woman and a gorgeous, dark, brooding, secretive, man with a horrible childhood who neverthless has learned to love a woman exactly as she wants to be loved! There could have been a counterpoint to all January's angsting like a crushing 14-year-old, with her conflicting feelings about the death of her father, but those just TOTALLY DISAPPEARED every time Gus was in the scene. WHY DO SO MANY 21ST CENTURY WOMEN WRITE SUCH REGRESSIVE FEMALE CHARACTERS?? It's shocking. I only finished this because I was hoping the ending would redeem this book. It definitely didn't.
