This is off my TBR, just because I don't feel like wasting time on a book that has a) the worst type of insta love, and b) a terrible main character. What I don't understand is that these characters are in love after four days. I JUST DON'T. That doesn't happen. Nope.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169574717441851611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-55562268902727095602013-05-04T10:27:05.447+01:002013-05-04T10:27:05.447+01:00Thanks!

I still loved this book thoroughly. I dislike Twilight though. I guess everyone has their own comparisons and their own taste so.. yup. Sad you hated this, but were not all supposed to love the same books.

Maybe the overprotective thing was just thrown in to add drama and then thrown away once it was no longer needed.

Whatever, we're allowed to judge our friends, I think XD <br /><br />I only like insta-kissing if it's hot insta-kissing. These two had no chemistry and meh.

I thought it was awful (which I guess you could write home about how terrible it is and ask someone to come and save you) and so my thoughts are likely to be a bit of a rant." <br /><br />So far as instalove goes, barf, but I am okay with insta-kissing, because hey that happens. However, they need to know what's happening, which is lust not love. Follow that though and I am all for it. I have to live vicariously after all. But, obviously, the sexiest kisses are the ones that come after insane amounts of build up, like in Crown of Embers.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-80620409801677519232013-05-03T12:48:23.771+01:002013-05-03T12:48:23.771+01:00Totally agree about Patti--I wasn't crazy abou...Totally agree about Patti--I wasn't crazy about the book either but really I didn't feel much at all about it--no hate, no love just a huge meh.

That was where the book went downhill for me. I ended up being disappointed with this one too because everyone seemed to love it and I'm still a bit baffled by all the hype.
