Review: Pretty sure we're dealing with a case "it's me, not the book" here. Sadly, it was just OK for me.

I'm DNF-ng it. I liked it, but I knew from the start how it was going to go since I read the blurb. Obviously. I was waiting to be blown away though, but unfortunately I wasn't. I guess some of it is that the blurb just gave away too much and sometimes it's good to not give away most of the plot in the synopsis. It was just your avarage New Adult novel for me. I didn't really resonate well with the characters since they never really grew on me, but I did get their struggles and why/how they became to be this way. We know from the start that they're meant to be and I guess it took away from the excitement in my case. It wasn't a bad book per se, but I don't feel like continuing since I clearly know how it's going to end (if it has a surprise twist in the end, let me know and I'll finish it) and now, after putting it down last night in order to get some sleep, I don't feel like picking it up. Why? You see.. everything's basically said and done and now the plot is just dragging the inevitable. I should mention though that it had some very beautiful lines in places, for instance:QUOTE"Then soft pillows of his lips hummed in concert against mine."It's a bit poetic with a touch of softness and I really liked these seldom lines here and there. Other than that, I'd say that if you're up for a cute contemporary with a very predictable plot, I advise you to give this a go. I wasn't able to relate to the characters nor connect with any of them and if you're able to connect with these two and their friends, you'll probably enjoy it a whole lot more. For once, I feel like Goodreads and I agree with the rating. This book was (just) OK.PS! I can't wait to read the next book coming out by Christina Lee. The one with the suicidal guy? Yep! I'm excited about that one and I hope the writing will improve a bit so that I'll enjoy it in its entirety. Doesn't mean that every sentence has to be a knock-out, but I'm just sayin..
