As you can see by the dates read, this is definitely written in a compelling way. I had to know what happened next, so I’ve been on my couch all day. I was really hoping to love this one since it’s so hyped up everywhere I turn. But ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

1) The sex scenes are repetitive and not even particularly well-written. At least they’re not purple prose, but yeesh.
2) There is one HUGE plot hole that makes everything fall apart.
3) The characters do not feel real or developed. I didn’t care about anything that was happening to them because they’re so two-dimensional. Why does Lowen love Jeremy so much??? He is BORING!!!!! And vis versa!!!!!
4) WHY DOES IT TAKE HER SO LONG TO READ THE MANUSCRIPT??? Each chapter is so short! She could have whipped through it in a day and showed it to Jeremy immediately. It’s padded out for plot reasons.
5) The ending feels like a complete and utter cop-out and/or the author ran out of steam and couldn’t decide what to do.

This fucking book PLOWED straight through my heart. My emotions were all over the place. Bravo. This book has earned its way onto My Favorite Books of All Time list. I will be emotionally decimated for weeks.
