Megan Squires

I loved this book. I really did. I gave it 4.5 stars and the only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is that the ending left me wanting to ask a zillion questions. It felt like there were too many huge revelations all at once and then it ended. That may sound silly but as I said before - I just wanted to ask questions. I wanted a little more closure. Just a bit more!

That said... this book was sweet, touching and far more moving than I thought it would be. I fell in love with Lincoln, Eppie and even Phil. I loved Lincoln and Eppie's pure hearts and I loved how they connected so naturally. They are perfection.

If you are looking for a book that will make your heart smile, this is for you. If you want to see what hope and love looks like, this is for you. If you want to fall in love with beautifully flawed characters, this is for you. This is so much more than a typical love story - this book has real depth.

Somebody, please... please make this into a movie.

(Yes, I rounded up, and you're about to find out why.)
I'm a hopeless romantic. That's all there is to it, actually. So when I picked up Love Like Crazy , I had anticipated some internal screams, or butterflies at the very least.

Did I get that?
Well, kind of.
But not really.



The way Megan Squires allowed the two stories to intertwine was amazing, although I did feel that the ending could have been tied up better. The one thing that kept me reading was the quirky dialogue between Eppie and Lincoln, and those were the moments I enjoyed the most.

For example: (And this isn't even the best one - I wouldn't want to ruin the hilarity)

“Quit making out in my kitchen," Dan asserted as he loudly entered the room, his voice reaching us first. "You're going to contaminate the food. Totally unsanitary.”

Although these patches were able to get me through the entire book, when I had turned the last page, I felt a lack of happy satisfaction.



Throughout the book, I had wondered the same thing about the relationship between Eppie and Lincoln - it was perfect. Too perfect, actually, and almost unrealistic. And this is a chicklit, I know, but the perfection of the relationship made the story too mild and boring for me (as someone who thrives of drama).

It felt a little like riding up on a roller coaster, and then realizing that there wasn't a drop at the end, just an endless flat plain that you had to slowly make your way through.

The more I talk about it, the more I realize how flat everything felt, and although they were cute and had their moments, the spark between the main characters seemed to diminish the longer the relationship progressed.



It felt as if Squires attempted to tie realism with adventure, which resulted in a novel that attempted to be exciting, but fell flat, save a few moments.

If you're a fan of cute and calm romances, this story could really get your heart racing (occasionally), but for any other reader, not so much.

Personally, I think I could describe this book in one gif.


Yeah, that about sums it up.… (plus d'informations)

I loved the real lifeness in this book. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you want to look at it I don't know that every person can relate to Darby and her tragic life experience. I, on the other hand, could totally relate. Death has been a part of my life since I was a very little girl. I think that Ms Squires did an excellent job of putting the reader into the head of Darby and hopefully everyone walks away from this book with a better understanding of the precious nature of life.… (plus d'informations)
