This book currently holds the title of the worst book I’ve read of all time. 

The entire book is exploring a man’s heart. The paper magic and all that? Just flavor at the beginning. Highly irrelevant after. I only read the whole thing because I was convinced that there was no way that exploring his heart would be the whole shtick. I will admit, it doesn’t help that I’m not a fan of teacher x student romances, but I think anyone can admit that this is a poor example of it. They don't really spend time together before they get together. It’s all a part of the heart journey (aka a mental/imaginary one!).

Kill me now. I will update this review if there is another read that I hate more than this, but I have vowed to never read anything from this author ever again.
