** spoiler alert **Wow so this book caused a rollercoaster of emotional issues for me. I give it 3 stars overall. Let's start with what I thought was good about the book. I though Sebastian was very sweet and loving considering he didnt have much love growing up. The book is very well written and really pulls your emotions to the surface. If you can look past certain aspects (I'll talk about them later) it really is a touching love story...Thing I personally had issues with (I understand others wont have these issues). I have a hard time reading a book when cheating is involved so this was an issue for me. Now that being said the relationship between Caroline and David makes me see the why and I could almost look past the cheating, ok not really but I tried.Also Sebastian is only 17 when this affair starts, this gave me that ugh feeling. I kept asking myself if I would feel the same way if the roles were reversed and it was a 17 year old girl and my answer was YES. I know he was an old soul, etc. but it was just hard for me because there can be a huge difference between 17, 18 and 19 but 17 was just hard for me. Now I've started book #2 and the age is not a factor giving book #2 is 10 years later.Overall I enjoyed this book. I did feel it was long and could have been cut some but that honestly isn't a complaint for me. I'd rather have too much than not enough. I'm currently reading #2 so I'm hoping when I finish it I'll have a better take on the story as a whole.
