Review: Sorry, but this was just "okay" and felt a little "meh" to me...

I feel bad that my review was not matching the others that absolutely raved about this book.  Maybe it is just me, but I felt that this story kind-of dragged for me.  Well, I will admit that the writing is good, the character development was decent, but it just seemed to be a little much on the secret internal character drama.The hero had issues, the heroine had issues, but a serious lack of openness between them made this book seem dragged out for me.  There was a hint of a secondary story, but not enough to build from.  To me, the pace seemed a bit slow and it took roughly half the book to get interesting for me.  In fact, I felt that the ending was even lacking a bit for my liking.  It went from keeping a secret to self-loathing feelings of the heroine to just up and run to have the hero muster the courage to track her down.  Then, the conclusion of honesty about their feelings felt a bit too... reasonable?  The story held a lot of promise, but really did not show growth of both characters...  just circumstance.I do think that there was a connection between these two, but creating a lasting relationship on secrets and lies was not all that endearing to me.  Maybe I missed something in the story, but I even felt that I could put this book down for days and not feel compelled to race back to the book to see what happens next.  That alone was my sign that this book was really not for me.Now, to not be a grammatical nitpicker, there was really only one sentence that did not make sense, but being the only one and near the end of the book really should not bother me all that much, but somehow it did.  Probably because I did not really feel much for this book.  I do have to give Ms. Snow credit for writing this.  She did just fine, but I guess this story is not for everyone.... It wasn't for me.Would I recommend this to a friend?  I am not sure.  I definitely would not discourage a person from getting this, but I am not feeling it is rave-worthy.  Maybe I was hoping for something different than what I got from reading this, but sadly, I will not be reading this again.
