So I think people should read the book and look closer to the meaning. I agree with a little about the errors but maybe they were just excited about the book coming out.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438041449595085165.post-70000659774147321382014-08-29T16:09:10.354-04:002014-08-29T16:09:10.354-04:00I really tried to be open to this book.

The whole 'I love him, but he can't love me' plot was underdeveloped and not very detailed. <br /><br />I understand having a goal of creating a story with your best friend (as the authors are best friends in real life), and maybe to the relationships were so detailed in their minds that it didn't come across in the book - I don't know but it just didn't work.

This...Cindy, I think you hit the nail on the head. This story is both conventional and transparent, which makes it extremely boring. On top of that, there was zilch in the way of chemistry between any of the characters; the friendship feels forced and contrived, and the romances are even less believable. What's more, there were at least four instances of poor editing--incorrect word choice and grammatical errors that should have been caught before publication. Sigh. I too had high hopes from the premise, and I was extremely disappointed. Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359343130288941411noreply@blogger.com
