She not only knows her writing craft, she has a knack for capturing the reader through her characters and the lives they live. I have read all three of her books now and she is one of my favorite authors.Danmarkhttp://failure4life.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-48449548007813584162011-09-22T14:39:51.052-04:002011-09-22T14:39:51.052-04:00I loved this book but you have a point about the c...I loved this book but you have a point about the cheating bf.

You are right about the dimension thin...Hi Alexis!<br /><br />You are right about the dimension thing, and maybe under different circumstances her choice would have made more sense. There a lot of emphasis made in the fact that they are meant to be but I didn’t see it that way, and as I said, she was 25 so life didn’t have to end with that relationship. And sometimes even if it is a romance, if a guy is just not right then maybe the ending would be happier without him. Let me know once you read the book what you think about it.<br /><br />Yes, I got rid of it because it was driving me insane, sometimes comments didn’t show up, some comments kept going directly to the spam folder, in some of the posts the whole thing would disappear leaving me with Blogger’s comments and I was sick of sending emails to their troubleshooting address, they were very nice but I just couldn’t stand it anymore. I lost all the comments though, I have seen blogs that kept Intensebate in the older posts and the new ones have another commenting system, buy I can’t figure out how to do it.Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694232807189281284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-16549258731249326382011-09-06T18:55:49.010-04:002011-09-06T18:55:49.010-04:00I had to read the spoiler even though I plan on re...I had to read the spoiler even though I plan on reading the book. I know I shouldn't but it is like telling me you have a secret that you can't tell me. Sooo...I don't like cheating boyfriends. I think it is interesting that it turns out the way it does. It's as if the author tried to add a dimension to the relationship. Relationships are hard but like you said, she's 25 and I'm assuming she doesn't have any kids. Why couldn't they just be friends? Fab review. Did you get rid of intense debate?Alexis @ Reflections of a Bookaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745513625965620545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-23781853278514639782011-09-06T14:43:45.481-04:002011-09-06T14:43:45.481-04:00Hi Johanna!

She seems like one of those authors that take a long time to write a book, but I can’t wait to read the next one. Did you read The Peach Keeper? I loved that one as well, and the crappy boyfriend in that one redeemed himself quite thoroughly…Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694232807189281284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-13562321124833285662011-09-06T14:40:28.673-04:002011-09-06T14:40:28.673-04:00Hi Jade!
I was so angry at her, I know that cheati...Hi Jade!<br />I was so angry at her, I know that cheating is one of those cases where you don’t know how you are going to react until it happens, but ideally I would like to think that I wouldn’t act as Chloe did, because trust is such an important part of a relationship and I don’t know how you can be able to trust someone who hurts you like that. Besides, when you are in love you don’t feel the need to have sex with someone else, you might feel attracted because you are in love, not blind, but you don’t risk hurting that person and you don’t feel like sleeping with someone else! And if you do, then you might want to take a look at your relationship because something is wrong.<br />Having said that, this was such a beautiful book, I do believe you are going to like it. Josey’s story was touching, Adam was a great hero even though he isn’t really one of the leads, he is more of a secondary character, and all the magic was lovely.Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694232807189281284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-29321290598958997872011-09-06T14:28:41.465-04:002011-09-06T14:28:41.465-04:00I had to read today's post when I saw that you...I had to read today's post when I saw that you were reviewing Sarah Addison Allen. I love her work and enjoyed this book although, I too, was a bit put-off by the boyfriend angle.Johannahttp://www.johannagarth.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-36041710866875027562011-09-06T14:23:12.811-04:002011-09-06T14:23:12.811-04:00I'm a bit miffed as well by the reason Chloe&#...I'm a bit miffed as well by the reason Chloe' boyfriend cheated on her. It's actually a bit absurd and I can't believe how it turns out. Forgiveness is all well and good, but we don't have to forget or be stupid. What happens the next time he feels sorry for someone? Anywho, great in depth review. I've never heard of this one before, but sounds like a great little coming of age and romance story with just enough magic to keep it interesting. Nice review. And I love how you hide your spoilers.Jadehttp://sortofbeautiful.comnoreply@blogger.com
