kaybeehome's review against another edition

Dragged on for too long. Thought it’d be more adventurous than this. Also, the fact that

nearly everyone believed that Melanie was still alive inside her body was anticlimactic. I thought they would stay hostile towards Wanderer the whole time.

One of my favourite romances at the moment - tense and mysterious in all the right places, and a tear-jerking, emotional whirlwind. Plus the love triangles are so fun, and have an interesting dynamic.

Significant age gap between protagonist and love interest, 17-26. Pedophilia.

I loved this book! I never read anything like it before. It includes very sweet romance and friendship while also taking a creative twist by making the characters in the same body. Only problem for me probably because I am picky not because this book has a problem was that the representation of any minority group was non-existant and if there was any it was so small I didn't even notice.
