The book centres around learning to be a woman in America in the late 70s/Early 80s - I think reading it as a younger girl would've allowed me to love it more - as it was a lot of the description of the love of Evie's life (Rourke) verges on Edward in Twilight territory - I know that this is often how you feel as a teen so it was difficult for me to figure out whether the book itself is annoying or it's just Evie's character.
My other complaint is that (I assume) because Evie is such an "artist" the story is often not congruent and she darts from place to place without filling in the appropriate backstory. Usually this type of thing doesn't bother me, but with something this sprawling it became a little irritating.
All of this aside it was a great book to sink into and get swept up in, there's enough tragedy and hopelessness and "will love conquer all" stuff to keep anyone happy, but alongside this the book is well written (as a whole) and smart - something you don't tend to come across all that much in the genre that is romance.
