It sounds like others had the same problems I did when trying to read this book.

This was my second time trying to read it and the first time I only read a few pages thought what did I just read I give up. This time I got to chapter 20/20-25% through the book and I still am thinking what did I just read and what is going on.

So after trying to read this twice and looking at others experiences with it, I am putting this on my DNF shelf.

It simply doesn't work for me and isn't at all what I thought it would be *shrugs*.

3.25 stars, and that's simply because of the ending.

Unlike the other book I've read by the author, [b:Perfect Chemistry|4268157|Perfect Chemistry (Perfect Chemistry, #1)|Simone Elkeles|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1403424645s/4268157.jpg|4315675], I wasn't as drawn into this. I liked certain parts more than others and the romance seemed to just appear between one chapter and the next but at the same time I kinda really liked both characters and wanted them to get together.

I know there's a second book that continues this story and I'm off to hunt it out so I can see how these two work out.

I am attempting to sum this up and I can't. I liked it I really really liked it! I found it took me ages to finish because it was slow in some place but once I'd got onto the last quarter I couldn't put it down and it seemed to have such a slow build up and then suddenly it was like ahhh! Everything at once! I really did like it though,I loved how each chapter was from someone else's perspective, I think that gave the story lots of different angles and I loved the "book one" "book two" and the illustrations on these pages.
