When you wish that the author would explore something a little bit deeper, when you disappointed with too neat ending. Sorry to hear it happened with you here. I can also understand you about the romance. Though I like romance and don’t mind romance-centered books, lately I find myself gravitating toward books that have family and friendship aspects.<br /><br />I still haven’t read anything by Emily Lord, though definitely want to. After reading your review, I think I’ll probably start with Open Road Summer or The Start of Me and You and leave When We Collidedfor later. Great review, Keertana!<br />Kseniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362452522963234123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-64423857506079970442016-04-22T16:16:27.477-04:002016-04-22T16:16:27.477-04:00This is not something I'd rush out to get, but...This is not something I'd rush out to get, but if the library had it then yesBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-36994358681604049062016-04-21T11:46:17.307-04:002016-04-21T11:46:17.307-04:00Great review, as always!

I'm glad you enjoyed reading it though you didn't love it as much.<br /><br />ChatEbooks recently posted https://www.chatebooks.com/blog-Literary-Agent-5-Questions-to-Ask-Before-Signing-the-Contract Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08791599588253220218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-67477554387956886892016-04-21T03:46:09.785-04:002016-04-21T03:46:09.785-04:00Ah yes difficult thing here, some very good and so...Ah yes difficult thing here, some very good and some more mixed points but I totally understand thereMellianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406103812986322082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-57379516337522407542016-04-21T01:54:10.340-04:002016-04-21T01:54:10.340-04:00The story just does not pull me in this time, bett...The story just does not pull me in this time, better listen to brainBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-80919246531627222652016-04-20T23:51:47.225-04:002016-04-20T23:51:47.225-04:00Thanks for your honest thoughts.

I am glad that Lord focused on the nuance of depression and mental illness well. I do hope to check this one out soon.<br /><br />-LaurenShooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-63456615351501893312016-04-20T20:12:23.697-04:002016-04-20T20:12:23.697-04:00I am so glad that you enjoyed it, even if you didn...I am so glad that you enjoyed it, even if you didn't quite love it. And I completely understand where you're coming from - it's always difficult when a book is good, but it lacks the emotional connection it needs to make it great.

Although I do see me not liking the same parts you did (I like wrapped up, but not too easy). I'm also curious about the romance even if it didn't wow you. Yep, still curious. :) Brilly review.Melissa (Books and Things)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00074452958853212024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-26335590807450160272016-04-20T10:15:50.530-04:002016-04-20T10:15:50.530-04:00I've been hearing a lot of good things about t...I've been hearing a lot of good things about the depiction of mental illness in this one and how it feels real, not something exaggerated for fictional effect or cliched. It's too bad the romance felt a little off to you though! Like you said, that could have been the intention given what Vivi is battling, but still. Beautiful review as always Keertana!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.com
