First off, this cover has such an ethereal feeling to it, and it gives off a powerful feeling of love. Just as it is supposed to I assume. So, because I almost never read a book without any romance, it pulled me right toward it. From the excerpt, I can also presume that this novel is full of adult humor and tough topics, which would make it all the more satisfactory. Also, it fits into the type of book I adore to read: angsty love stores.
