Review: Too Much of the Same Thing
Rating: 3 out of 5

I wanted to love this book - I really, really did. And at first I did. However, she drug out the back and forth between the two waaayyyy too long! It wasn't as if there was misunderstandings - not really at least. No, it was that they didn't talk or say what they were feeling AT ALL. Sure you need to have some miscommunication to give the book some angst and make a story out of it, but this was beyond ridiculous. I started skimming a lot around 60% because they were still 'He doesn't love me'and then the next chapter was 'She doesn't love me'. Each chapter was just like that. Got very old! Even the side characters finally say, and I am quoting:"Does anyone else feel like we're having the same conversation over and over again?" Uh, yes, thought that about 40% in.She could have made this book half of what it was and no one would miss anything. Zack and Emily do not even get together until almost 90% into it. And after that everything felt too rushed. If she would have gotten Zack and Emily together sooner she could have expanded on the last 10% and it would have made for a better read.
