I read this real fast, I got addicted. I literally read while working. I loved the story, the characters, everything. There was a good development of characters and story. The author didn’t rush into it, I felt every action made sense with the character and everything was adding up. Though I gave a five for characters, story and reading, my rate couldn’t go there because in lots of moments I noticed I got lost on how the charactes were moving.
I’ll try to explain… there moments when he ‘felt to his knees’ and after a few words he was hugging her and kissing but there wasn’t a ‘he got up and hugged me”. How is she up, he’s on his knees with his hands around her neck? That took me out of the story sometimes and made me re-read at least 6 times very slowly to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. I know it’s something most people doesn’t even care BUT I hate it.
Now, instead of writing bout the character I hated the most I just have to say I just don't buy Jennifer's ending. **SPOILER HERE**I do believe in the story that he just loved the idea of her. It makes sense specially bc earlier in the story he asks himslef what did he see in her and how he doesn't really understand why he loved her so much. Also, I do understand the 'u didn't give me the love I wanted so I tried with other person' but I'll never feel sorry for her. I felt the the author might've wanted that but no way. She began to enter his world and exchanged him for someone that she knew didn't like him. Worst, she cheated. And now she says what Elena did saved her. That really feels like she wants pity specially after her saying that she loves him that's why she wants him to persue Elena to be truly happy. Well, not mine
Weirdly enough my fav character was the heroine (how often does that happen? hahahah), Elena. I believe her development troughout hte history was well made, she is very kind, she knows how to stand up to herself according to the situations. We, readers, can see how pure her heart is but even though she seems really naive and innocent you know that she’ll change once people show her they’re ‘hopeless’ and that’s what happens. We were shown all of her sides and they all went accordingly to the character. She’s my favorite but all are loveable and well built.
No matter what, I loved this so much I'm gonna start reading another book of the author right away.
