I would have had zero problem with it being a time travel book. I don't know why they chose to market it otherwise. <br /><br />Rubita, Yep, usually I DNF if I'm disliking a book this much. But the plot does have so much potential so I kept reading. I don't think you'd like the MC or romance very much at all. <br /><br />Nic, I know, right? Doesn't hold a candle to TRoT series. I was bored a lot too. <br /><br />A Canadian Girl, Nope, I wouldn't rush to get to it. You might as well try it since you own it though. I did think the "big reveal" was really cool<br /><br />Alison, Very true. I was SO looking forward to this book, mostly because I thought I'd get a slower burn ghost romance. Even more disappointing is that what was written could have bee awesome. <br /><br />Leanna, VERY insta-love! <br /><br />Nina, It really did have a ton of potential and I know some people loved it. But for me, yeah, it was really that bad. <br /><br />Jen, Haha very true, not many can hold up to a comparison with Luca and Marcello :) I love boarding school books too. I can't get into insta-love AT ALL. It totally bores me. <br /><br />Rummanah Aasi, The lack of development is really my biggest gripe I think. It could have been so much better if more attention had been paid to fully developing all of the ideas. <br /><br />Aylee Haha, and "uncharitable thoughts" is very much a euphemism! <br /><br />Melissa, The potential was so amazing. The big reveal was one of the coolest I've read, so it's super disappointing that the development was so poor. It was like one brilliant idea sandwiched between, exactly as you put it, every mold-ready plot device.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-54216773298645456952011-08-23T22:06:06.420-04:002011-08-23T22:06:06.420-04:00The potential sounds brilliant, but the follow-thr...The potential sounds brilliant, but the follow-through sounds horrid, in my humble opinion.

After your review, I can honestly say that I have no desire or patience to read a book that's not really developed. Sorry it was a huge disappointment for you.

I get so annoyed at being told one thing and getting something else. Part of the reason I had issues with The Immortals series by Alyson Noel. BUT, most of all I can't seem to get into insta-love. It drives me INSANE! Does that make me a cynic? Awesome review as always!<br /><br />Jen<br /><a href="http://www.intheclosetbibliophile.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">In the Closet With a Bibliophile</a>Jen (@ Jens Book Closet)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02339586413882184139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-63658764214056788292011-08-23T09:06:30.482-04:002011-08-23T09:06:30.482-04:00oh no, really that bad?

Lol, I figured I'd wait for your detailed review after that email you sent and then thought you were just not going to bother with one. Sounds like there's no need for me to rush into this one what with you not even remembering the guy's name and the MC being annoying. I thought this one would be a ghost romance story too so it's a little disappointing to find out that it's not.

I hate that kind of marketing even though a ghost and time travel love stories are both of great interest to me. I'm disappointed and will probably steer clear of this especially when there are so many other books out there just waiting to be discovered.The Insouciant Sophisticatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934853089105345052noreply@blogger.com
