I think I just feel very underwhelmed by this book. I can certainly see why a lot of people I know enjoy it. There were some scenes I really liked and it was an enjoyable read, but Gideon’s dialogue was just very corny and irked me at times and Muir didn’t create the emotional impact she seemed to be trying to in some key scenes. I think I’ll probably read the sequel, though, as the use of second person narration intrigues me.
