This book wasn't that good. I was really excited to read it because, I know I shouldn't, but I judge a book by its cover and this one made it look so good plus the sleeve thing sounded good too. But it gets really predictable and she becomes so clingy and whiny all the time. I honestly could not even finish reading it along with there being a love triangle which everyone knows who gets picked in the end most times. Moreover though I just didn't really like it and thought it would get better but it never did. So I was really disappointed.… (más)

When I started this book, I thought, Great! I'm in for an enjoyable read, as it reminded me of "A Walk to Remember" by Nicholas Sparks. Unfortunately this didn't last. Beth absolutely annoyed me once she met Derek. She was spineless, ungrateful and a whiner, and her beautiful singing voice become secondary to the story. All she wanted to do was pounce on her new boyfriend and make-out, which they did until it became quite sickening. How she treated Scott, her best friend, was also despicable and personally I didn't think she was worthy of either boy, although both of them tried to manipulate her in their own way. Yes, the ending was sad, but not sad enough for me - could have been so much better. I wanted to be sobbing by the end, but hardly shed a tear. Very disappointing!!!… (más)

This is quite a good read focusing on inter-faith relationships. Lessie is a Mormon but Michael isn't and despite their mutual attraction life is not a bed of roses. I found Leesie quite annoying at times as she tries to pressure Michael into doing things he clearly isn't interested in, such as going to church. However, I was extremely disappointed in Michael when he cheats on her during one of their down times.

I also like the format of the book and how the story is told. Most of the story is told in the third person narrative, but Leesie and Michael's voices are heard through her poems and his diving log which makes the book more engaging for the reader.… (más)
