I thought the story was pretty good, but the writing was pretty average. I wanted to read this book because of a quote I saw from the book, and that's kind of what the book is like: A lot of decent writing strung together by a few really good pieces of writing. Along with that I feel like the book lacked some emotional depth despite the fact that it was intended to be emotional. I liked the characters, but I never truly got wrapped into them like with other stories. I kept reading because the plot was so good, but I felt no strong emotional connections to these characters like I have with other books. There are times I thought the book was going in that direction, but they never really made it there. I definitely think this book is really good for the right person, but it just didn't appeal to the storylines I usually look for when picking my next book. The characters were still pretty cute together though.
