Okay, I need a cool-down period to get my thoughts into a more or less proper order to write a coherent review.

A definite 3.5-er because: a) on one hand - I've read it in a single day but b) now I'm not entirely sure WHAT it was that I got dragged through.
This is a little confusing.

My expectations ran too high, apparently.
Anyway.
Later.

Right.
I loved Cora. Such a spirited ambitious girl! I kind of envy her for knowing exactly what she wants.
Michael was... always running away from things. Mostly from making decisions.

I have issues with insta-love, and starting new relationships without breaking off with the current significant other. Highly emotional situations not withstanding.

This read like a summer fling. And Cora is way more realistic than Michael. And with promises coming from the one least likely to uphold them? I'm not exactly holding out for them to last.

Overall, this was a fast read. And while I don't regret picking it up, it's entirely forgettable.

FINAL VERDICT: try it ( )
