Review: Good Idea, But Lacking
Rating: 3 out of 5

The idea behind the storyline of this book held promise, but the story fell far short. Instead, it seemed to be a book with a political agenda. Much of the dialogue was about environmentalism, and though that could have been worked into the book effectively, it felt too stilted,unnatural, and forced. I kept thinking no two people, friends, or lovers would have those conversations. Also, not enough was done to put me in the scene and thus inside the characters' heads. I didn't care if they got together or not, but simply wanted to reach the end of the story. I do appreciate the author keeping the story clean. However, some - any - tension would have been nice. Sentence structure was good. There were a few glaring editing errors, but nothing remarkable. In the end, a so-so story that I could have done without.
