 Based on how much I loved Dear Edward and the pre release hype, I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, I struggled through the first third of the book. At one point even considered not finishing. However, the more I read, the more I became invested in the story of William and Sylvie.  I did not like Julie or Rose,  and perhaps that dislike caused my disappointment with the story, especially in the first half. Lots of people loved this book, and you may be one, then again, maybe not.
