I tried to like this book. I really did. There was just nothing about the characters that was redeemable.Angela is almost too naive for her own good. She's not a heroine that I particularly cared for. She doesn't have a job, doesn't do anything with her life. She literally sits around at home and reads while waiting for Liam to call her. It's hard to identify with her. She's a spoiled rich girl who tries so hard not to be, but in the end, she still is.Liam isn't much better than Angela. I just didn't really feel a connection with him.The writing is strange. Sometimes I'm just wasn't sure who was talking. The excessive use of ellipses is annoying and distracting.This was a total "love from the other side of the tracks" story, but it's not romantic at all. As the reader, it's extremely frustrating to watch the hero and heroine continually make stupid decisions for no reason other than ignorance. There's no chemistry. Their exchange of the "L" word came out of nowhere and felt completely fake. There was no deep emotional connection between the characters.I don't think I'll be reading any more books by this author. I was completely disconnected from the characters and just didn't care for them whatsoever.
