I know that many parts were very beautiful and I agree that it's a thoughtful book, I think that's a great way to describe it. But maybe it was my mood or something but I was actually bored when reading it. So I guess I just didn't have the connection. I'm so glad you did though! And I would have guessed it to be your kind of book as well, so I'm glad I would have been right! I didn't know what to say in a review so I actually didn't even review it.

It is definitely a quite book that you FEEL, such a perfect way to describe it. And the characters are really fantastic. I don't usually like a lot of flashback, but I felt like it was done perfectly in this story. And romances like this that are subtle, always seem the most powerful and meaningful to me. Beth Kephart is also the sweetest ever! <3Lauren @ Love is not a trianglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388832613855107816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-78702792080797978352013-02-04T19:51:49.166-05:002013-02-04T19:51:49.166-05:00I actually have been really interested in reading ...I actually have been really interested in reading this book. I think the setting is primarily what draws to me. I wish I could visit Sevilla (someday...). I also am totally down for a more quiet, introspective type of book. If I had a type of contemporary that I did like to read, that would probably be it. Beautifully written review, as always, Keertana, and now I must move this up on my TBR list!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-28400500778609880482013-02-04T16:40:16.579-05:002013-02-04T16:40:16.579-05:00This book doesn't scream to me that it is a me...This book doesn't scream to me that it is a me book, and yet, every review I read of it is beautiful and tempting. I love the idea of her finding somewhere that she fits more than she ever had before, and I enjoy a quiet romance. Still unsure if I'll ever pick this one up, but I have a feeling if I do I wont' regret it.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416898799044848769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-66214453121764741092013-02-04T05:29:25.230-05:002013-02-04T05:29:25.230-05:00Lovely review, Keertana.

The writing sounds absolutely flawless, Kenzie a hugely likeable character that I would be able to connect to and don't get me started on Spain, I've always wanted to travel to Europe, so I would love to see how this book manages to capture Spain in all it's glory!

I love your descriptions of Spain, and it makes me want to pick up this book just to read about Spain. This book actually reminds me a ton of How to Save A Life (which is you haven't read, I think you'd love). I love the emotion that seems to be apparent in this book. Also, the relationships that develop also seem so deep and raw, which is something that I'm so excited to read already.<br /><br />Fantastic review, really Keertana! So beautiful, and you've made me super excited to pick this book up now.

However you put me off when you began talking about the poetic prose. It's really not the type of thing I enjoy and I'm not sure whether that would hinder me reading it. Other than that, this novel sounds fabulous!<br /><br />However I am glad that you could find a novel that was so special and didn't need the word 'love' to be able to feel the affection because that is a very cute novel indeed. <br /><br />Fabulous review, Keertana.Livvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17441931016080817720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-34969862847845159792013-02-02T12:11:04.795-05:002013-02-02T12:11:04.795-05:00Oh, I love the fact that it's such a thoughtfu...Oh, I love the fact that it's such a thoughtful book!

When I read it last year I was so blown away and immediately started talking it up to everyone I knew. It makes me kind of sad when people read the synopsis of this book and immediately assume it's your standard teen pregnancy / issue book. It is so much MORE.<br /><br />And the writing, is it not to die for? <br /><br />Also I LOVED the ending SO much. I had a big ole smile plastered on my face and a few tears in my eyes as I read the final few pages.

Kenzie sounds like a brilliant character, and I can already see myself connecting with her, despite the situation. I quite like the sound of the Spanish setting, too.

I love that the prose is so gorgeous and I love that it's such a quiet book. I doubt I'd ever warm up to Kevin (spare him the shame? really?) but I'd most definitely like Kenzie AND her story.<br />Astonishingly good review, my friend.
