Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini

I'll come back to this when I finish the whole series.
look son i am fully aware that this book is flawed. i know sometimes the writing is mediocre, and that the dialogue is awkward at places and doesn't sound authentic a lot of the time. i know people will recognise clichés and roll their eyes when they're reading it, i know the love interest is probably "too perfect". even i thought it was totally predicable. so i know these flaws are there and that they're big ones. hell, they're still bothering me. but i am not going to even pretend that i didn't eat lucas up with a giant spoon because he's exactly what i love in love interests and i've got to go on my enjoyment of the book, and would have been a solid 4 stars up until about the last 80 pages. it sort of felt like it ran out of steam and i didn't feel connected to the story in the same way. so three stars because of a disappointing ending, though i can't put my finger on why i felt like this. but i'm a sucker for boys like lucas, so oh well.
