I'm just going to come right out and say it, my review of this book is not positive. And I think it's the first time I feel bad about giving a less than stellar review because my cousin recommended it to me and she loved it, and so I guess I feel guilty for not enjoying it.Having said that, I don't know what it was exactly that didn't grab my interest. It wasn't that I vehemently hated the book, it just was rather boring to me. I didn't like the writing style, with some strange (though I admit, still correct) grammar, especially in the long descriptive paragraphs. Which is another thing I couldn't get into, the descriptions that seemed to go on and on that just didn't have anything to do with plot or characters. I know all books have description that's just added fluff, but something about the way this author wrote was, to me, very tedious and unnecessary.
The story itself was very sad and I did find myself wanting to find out what happened in the end, though that, too, was disappointing. And there was no exciting sub-plot or a character that I absolutely hated or loved. I just couldn't get into it, plain and simple. Sorry Allison!
