This should teach me not to believe all the hype you see in a book. Most of the time I'm smart and read the sample and make an informed decision before I purchase a book. But this time I took the word of a blogger I follow as well as other followers of the blog. I also believed some of the reviewers who said that I would enjoy the feistiness of the main female character, Bronagh. Well, I waited and waited for Bronagh to be all that everyone said that she would be, but for me she fell really off the mark. When I first met her, she already had a chip on her shoulder. She doesn't talk to anyone and no one talks to her. She just wants to be invisible. Until Dominic comes to her school as a new student from America. She has all this hostility towards him, which I didn't understand. She curses alot, she's combative, she pushes the main hero away, but for some reason he keeps coming back! I've read books where both main characters dislike each other in the beginning, but there always seemed to be an underlying sense of decency and a line that they won't cross when they disagree. And you could always tell that there's an attraction between them that they're trying to fight. That didn't happen in this story or with these characters. Bronagh was so unlikeable! Everything that came out of her mouth was vile. I couldn't get past it and I couldn't continue reading the story. I'm sorry. This book was not for me.
