I can't do it. I can't finish this book. I've been stuck on this book since December. I strongly disliked the first two in this series, but they were pretty quick reads so I just continued on. But this book, I just can't.
The instalove, the overly dramatic instalove at that, was almost too much to tolerate. They were "madly in love" it seemed, and they had just met literally 2 WEEKS AGO!! And in the same amount of time, our "heroin" Gwen (right? Cuz I try to suppress her occasionally) was much more concerned about her ass of a love interest than the fact that she just discovered she can time travel and some pretty tragic other life changing events have occurred since. But no, we open this book with her throwing a pissy fit because of Gideon!
I have a huge problem, however, with simply not finishing a book, ESPECIALLY when its the last in a series/trilogy. I struggled with the decision to give up on this book basically two weeks after starting, mid-September, until yesterday, when I finally called it quits. I spoiled myself with several reviews of this book for about an hour (yes, I would have much rather spend an hour reading relatively the same information about this book than have actually read it) just for some closure and was pleased to find I would have probably disliked the ending even more than I had the first two books.
So glad to be done with this trilogy. The covers are absolutely gorgeous, yes. All the more reason I wanted to read and keep these books, but they just make me angry to look at and I know I will never pick them up again. Off to my local book exchange they go!
