review 1: I really wanted to like this a whole lot more than I did. Intrigued by the title and the blurb I just HAD to give this a shot. It sounded perfect. And it isn't a bad book really, but I just couldn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. And yes, the writing here is honestly the main issue. It's exhausting, confusing and doesn't deliver the story well. The characters are well sweet. Strangely a bit too sweet for my taste. Although I really adore sweetness in writing, therefore I am not sure why this was a bit too much for me.Before reading this story I browsed through the reviews and I often saw people complaining about the writing. I wasn't sure what that would mean, but I quickly had to find out it really is exhausting to read. You don't get what the author tries to deli... morever, it's just all a big mish mash of this and that, past and present, feelings, angst and slight weirdness. The idea of this story is perfect ! and I would have had a million ideas to make this book a whole lot more appealing.As I struggled through this, I wouldn't really recommend it :(Sorry!
review 2: I should give it a three, but I just loved this book too much to give it a four.What bothered me the most is the cover. I just happened to see on my Amazon recommended list three other books had the same exact cover and the same exact font. I assume that this is the results of the publishers, Silver Publishing.Of course, this has nothing to do with the story, but it bothers me that this seems to be something typical in e-books lately. I suppose it has to do with the cheaper cost, but as a reader, it is very annoying.Story wise, there was a lot of information that was shoved at us explaining the backstory of Liam and Jareth.I wish we could have had more time to develop the relationship and each character.The ending came out of the blue and seemed a bit tropey. But for whatever reason, I loved this book, despite all of these problems. less
