I admit I didn't read the summary before hand. I got the book because I was in the mood for a modern myth or fairy tale and that's where this book was in Amazon's genre scheme. I am not sure if that's what I got...The book is divided into three parts. The first part I started off liking. We learn about Callie an adopted girl trying to make friends int a new place who earns a hat and two friends for life upon moving to Australia. I liked the banter and interactions and the characters were pretty strong. There were a few silly typos that made it past editors, but nothing that hurt my head when reading. Then we got to the love triangle. Really???One page: My feeling for Hunter are al I can think about.Next page: Ryan's so dreamyNext page: Oh Hunter!It just seemed very unconvincing to me. However, once the second part kicked in...the book started to get a bit more interesting. I still felt the author dragged things out a bit (sometimes there would be three pages just explaining that they weren't going to explain anything).The plot though was new enough to keep me reading. Overall, it was a page turner, but I didn't enjoy turning all the pages. More than once I distinctly felt like the story was just stalling.If I were just rating parts 2 & 3 it would have been four stars (I did not enjoy the ending as much as others) but I wouldn't turn people away from this book. Take the time to read the synopsis and see if it seems like something you could like.
