I liked the cover too -- and it was indeed a good summery read, just like the cover implies.<br /><br />"Bittersweet" was a better read, but I didn't love that main character either. I think I wrote quite a long rant about her in my review! If you decided to check it out, I hope you like it. I was definitely a page-turner!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065930972046877154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-55303823182490112032014-09-19T11:13:14.604-10:002014-09-19T11:13:14.604-10:00I agree -- I was hoping to be much more shocked an...I agree -- I was hoping to be much more shocked and blown away by whatever big twist was coming. Interesting that you thought they were ghosts -- I actually assumed they were figments of her imagination. I always love hearing other readers' perspectives!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065930972046877154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-3659783737371968112014-09-08T14:19:45.795-10:002014-09-08T14:19:45.795-10:00I kind of liked this one, but I didn't love it...I kind of liked this one, but I didn't love it, and I definitely understand criticism for the writing style, which like Greg, I found sometimes irritating. <br /><br />SPOILERS BEFORE FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T READ THE BOOK<br /><br />I guessed that they might be dead, but the fact that they were (at least I think this was the point?) ghosts really dampened the end impact for me. I really wanted it to be something much better than that, something that I couldn't have thought of.

I think I liked it more than you did, but I agree with you the writing style did sometimes irritate me, like she was trying a little too hard. And there were very few likeable characters, I have to agree. <br /><br />Interesting that you mention Bittersweet, I remember it looking somewhat similar and I've seen a few good things about that one. May give it a try.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515345156687765162noreply@blogger.com
