I liked Caymen and her attitude, and I loved the "dates" she and Xander set up for one another, but it still felt sort of lacking on the whole. Beautiful cover though and nice similarities to one of my fave 80's movies, Pretty in Pink:)<br /><br />And thanks for linking to my review:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026974627724672435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-12747475940559125992013-08-24T20:40:10.298-07:002013-08-24T20:40:10.298-07:00I wanted a lot more resolution and respect shown t...I wanted a lot more resolution and respect shown toward the money angle.

I felt lik...I'm totally with you on the ending! I felt like only the romance between Caymen and Xander was resolved--nothing else. In particular, the way things went with Caymen, her mother and her grandparents was waaaay too "and now we're all happy and no one ever had to worry about money ever again." I mean, I guess it went with the light tone of the novel, but not, in my opinion, the quality of the rest of the novel. <br /><br />On the cover--I, too, love it, but I was disappointed that THE DRESS that Caymen finds and wears in the novel doesn't resemble the one on the cover. I'm a stickler for cover accuracy, so this kinda bugged.Rubitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929614007516530129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-26540344861968826362013-08-19T07:01:25.252-07:002013-08-19T07:01:25.252-07:00SOOOOO glad to hear this one was good!

By putting it down, it allows us to think about things...which isn't always a good thing. This one's definitely on my list, though. So many good reviews!Mary @ BookSwarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099395167194720599noreply@blogger.com
