Helpful Score: 1

I found the book very readable (i.e., I didn't want to put it down), but I didn't *enjoy* reading it. I just wanted it to be over--to find out what happens and be done with it. I didn't look forward to getting into bed and reading.

I had expected it to be more sweet and romantic. There was a very violent scene at the beginning that caught me off guard; then it was just trauma and upset for the entire book, with practically no relief. Also, the author kept switching point-of-view which I found disconcerting; I didn't think it was very well written.

I felt very disappointed with the ending, and then realized that it is part of a trilogy; so I googled to read the plots of books 2 and 3 so I could find out the ending without reading them.

I would not recommend this to someone looking for romance, or lovers of young adult literature. It is very soap opera-like, if you're into that.
