The good thing is ... I finished. That's it.
The not-good things, let me see if I can summarize. Too many characters with insecurities and being immature ... and seemed like EVERYONE was dealing with drama or angst that borders to either too cheesy or too sappy, which didn't appeal to me. Oh, and the supposedly main couple, namely Cole and Ian, they bored me. Instead of my feeling emotionally sympathetic, all I had in my head was "blah blah blah yada yada yada..."
Sorry book, we just didn't have the chemistry for our relationship to work out. And I'm no interested at all with the sequel either *shrugs*.
