The Brightest Stars by Anna Todd
3.0

This was the first book I've read from Anna Todd. The Brightest Stars was a bit of a let down for me though. Although the blurb showed amazing promise and sucked me in right away.

The book was too slow moving for me, while I love slow burning romance, this one just didn't progress enough. I found myself 50% in not really invested in these characters. Like a whole lot of nothing was even happening. I kept waiting for something to happen to pick the story up and it did, on the last few pages, but it was just too late. By the time the book ended I just didn't care anymore.

I'm not sure that I'll seek out the next book. The cliffhanger after such a dull story really didn't leave me reeling, looking for a resolution for this couple. While I could see glimpses of Anna Todd's fantastic writing chops, The Brightest Stars was just too meh.
