I'm not sure, something about the plot is putting me off. I'm glad I read your review, which is the first that hasn't been super gushy. At least now I feel like I can pick up the book and not be too disappointed (or entirely alone!) if I don't end up loving it.

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it overall because I broke down and bought it awhile ago because of all the hype :PAlisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178388552763222269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-10358015206791711582014-05-20T11:41:19.965-04:002014-05-20T11:41:19.965-04:00I haven't picked this one up yet either becaus...I haven't picked this one up yet either because of all the hype and positive reviews but it's high up my list. I'll pick it up soon. I like reading it without remembering why everyone liked it or in the heat of the hype.

As for everyting else, I pretty much agree with you. It was great, but not mindblowing as I expected. <br />Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-54992630144820778362014-05-19T23:06:48.658-04:002014-05-19T23:06:48.658-04:00I really enjoyed this novel.

I am so used to insta-love that this slow burn/is this even realistic was kind of refreshing. I am VERY curious about where the story is going, especially after the end.<br /><br />Thanks for the review! ~Sara @ Just Another Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870692977272702662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-42705132512797901082014-05-19T21:57:20.250-04:002014-05-19T21:57:20.250-04:00I also grew interested in this one only after read...I also grew interested in this one only after reading positive review after positive review. I think I'll try to lower my expectations a bit so I don't end up disappointed when I do end up reading it. I think I might feel the same about the romance...Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-2214020990108422852014-05-19T18:47:08.871-04:002014-05-19T18:47:08.871-04:00Thanks for your review.

Sounds like it could have used more depth.<br /><br />Nina from <a href="http://jadorehappyendings.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">J'adore Happy Endings</a>Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698452908549878264noreply@blogger.com
