It’s why I picked it up from the library. Overall it’s a decent if not terribly exciting read. I wished there was more romance in it as it’s billed as a romance novel. It’s more a coming of age storyline with romance as the secondary plot in my opinion. It’s also a little too long. However I did race through it quickly and it kept me entertained so overall a worthwhile read. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
