Review: Really good story, but
Rating: 3 out of 5

I really liked the story.  It had  the bones of a really good book, but it was missing the emotions that the characters should be going through as the book progressed.  It was like reading a really good outline, but missing the the real angst and drama. I needed more from the characters.*** SPOILERSI thought that the most emotion coming out of the main character was in the beginning of the book which was the very best part for me.  Then, after she makes it back from college, it was like everything was fine and dandy.  What bugged me the most was that she stayed away for 4 years...not talking to Lucas for all through college, and once she came back it was like everything was just fine and dandy....  everything that happened after she came back from college was just too easily resolved... example:  there was another guy who was in love with her who wanted to marry her, but hey, he'll back off without a fight just because Lucas wanted her now...  and let's take a look at Lucas... I am just not convinced that he has reformed and has now become a good guy.  He never had to prove himself.... She just pretty much forgave him too easily.  What happens if she gains the weight back or needs to wear glasses again?  I'm not so sure that he would stick around.Other than that, it was a really good story, just wished the characters had more emotions.  They kind of felt a little bit flat.
