Book Review of Waiting

I was disappointed in this story. I'm puzzled by those who call it an "engrossing love story". If anything, I think it shows the reader that your dreams aren't always what you'd hoped for. After waiting for love for so many years, you'd think that the lovers would have thought and discussed what their life together would be like and plan for their life together. Maybe what you interpret as love isn't love at all.
