Owww! This was such a funny story. It lost some points because of the last third of it. The story was already complete and I found the indulging in the happy ending a tad redundant. That said, I really liked this one. The characters are so solid and real, there's more to their personality than just what's needed for the love story to develop. I watched the tv show, and I think they did a good job, but I still prefer the book. I would recommend it for someone who needs a light read with some brain in it.
I had already read the first book of the Glimmer Falls series, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I think the plot in this one is even stronger than in the first book, great! But I take issues with the writing itself. I find it too crude in a way that clashes with the deeper feelings the characters feel for one another, it abruptly interrupts the magic of the moment. I have no quarrel with openly sexual content, I'll go as far as to say we pick up this kind of books also for the smut, but it's just not well written. Furthermore, the author often feels the need to overly explain what’s going on in the characters' minds, there's a lot of hand-holding for the reader when it comes to working through feelings and so on. Maybe the author’s style and tone are simply not my to my taste. That said, I repeat, the plot is there, the characters are fully flashed-out. It’s a solid palate cleanser in between heavier reads.
