I really enjoyed Stay so was looking forward to this one. I'm still going to check it out though but I appreciate your honest review.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15472559027348735571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-89852182023710326392012-07-10T12:27:59.478-07:002012-07-10T12:27:59.478-07:00I tend to hate when a character has a big secret b...I tend to hate when a character has a big secret because it is almost never as terrible as the character makes it out to be. And the whole book rides on the tension of that secret and it's just a letdown. I think I'll pass on this one.Livianiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479932701589363306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-32437468006306443292012-07-10T09:59:17.404-07:002012-07-10T09:59:17.404-07:00I tried to read this one and when I wasn't con...I tried to read this one and when I wasn't connected in the first few chapters I just put it aside for a possible later read. I haven't seen many glowing reviews for it so I think I'll pass all together and keep the good taste of STAY in my brain :)Shanynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05192747477231671551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-86674447950162092412012-07-10T05:07:32.172-07:002012-07-10T05:07:32.172-07:00Ooh.

Still, I've read some great reviews on this one, too so I guess it just goes to show that book tastes vary! Great review--excellent explanations as to why you didn't like it :)Mary @ BookSwarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099395167194720599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-30947196119889705392012-07-10T05:02:04.221-07:002012-07-10T05:02:04.221-07:00Okay, I'll remind you about the cat pictures! ...Okay, I'll remind you about the cat pictures! :') LOL but it's too bad this book wasn't much to your taste, B! I've actually never read a Deb Caletti book and this one was going to be my first, but I think maybe I'll try Stay out before this one. It always bugs me when I can't tell the characters apart, and I think that it'd be even cooler to get to read Cricket's (love that name LOL) responses to the letters too. Maybe that would've helped with the emotional connection! :) <br /><br />Amazing honest review as always, B! <3Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-43357990640990732702012-07-10T04:10:30.929-07:002012-07-10T04:10:30.929-07:00I'm sorry that this book was disappointing for...I'm sorry that this book was disappointing for you. It doesn't sound like something I'd like particularly because of the main character. I liked Stay but I've tried some of her other books and didn't like them. Perhaps this author's books are hit or miss. Thanks for your review!Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.com
