I received this book from the Publisher for an honest review.I was very back and forth through much of this book, though I generally leaned more towards not as favorable. While I started to really get into the book, something would happen that would fall very flat to me. I will admit, sometimes I found heavy similarities to other books that I have read... but at other times, it was because the characters behaved in a way that was out of what the character building had led to. For example***SPOILER***Regina getting fired from her dream job, and being perfectly okay with accepting a position at a bookstore or something similar. How do you so easily give up on a childhood dream? Especially one that held a special place in your heart because of your dearly departed father?!?***END SPOILER***I think to say that there were these parts that disappointed me is to also say that there was some very strong parts in the book to. Areas where I felt that the person acted not only within what one can expect from a real person, but actions that show growth as a person. These parts raised my expectations, and I guess I was a bit let down at other sections.In all honesty, though, overall, I was not a huge fan of this book. I enjoyed the writing style, and I will look to other books by Belle (Brenner); as she has obvious talent.Overall: 2 starsCharacter Development: 2.5 starsPlot: 3 starsDetail: 4 starsWriting Style: 3 starsFlow: 2.5 starsRecommend?: UnlikelyAudience: Adult
