There’s something about the way this book is written, that fools me, really fools me. It makes you think its enchanting and and eloquent but really its a collection of words that mean very little. Some sentences work. In fact many do, but often the ones that follow are so terribly cliche, drab and juvenile that it ruins it and you start the Stockholm from zero again. Yet, she achieves some sort of chemistry between the two and their gazes, and their erratic stomachs and bloodstreams, so I persist.

P.S I checked and the word gaze is used a whopping 103 times in the book. You never think you would but I wish Lori would have used a thesaurus that many times instead.
