My Thoughts

I absolutely hate it when I can't give a book a wonderful review!  It makes me so sad!  I fully realize that the author more than likely put their heart and soul into their book.  I imagine that it takes a lot of hard work and time to write a book.  However, I promised a true and honest review so that is what I will do.

I didn't really care for this book.  It was simply ok.  Not exactly horrible, just not really good. and trust me, I really wanted this to be a great book!  The description sounded wonderful and I was excited to read it.  Unfortunately, it fell a bit flat for me.

Too much of this book felt unrealistic.  There weren't enough things that made the book feel like it could be an actual situation.  Also, the writing felt, well, pushed.  Like the author was trying too hard or something.

I'm so sad!  I hate writing a negative review but, unfortunately, that is what I have to write.

*Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
