I wanted to like this book. I thought the concept was great and it had great potential. However, almost immediately I hated the characters. It took a while, but a few of them started to grow on me. I never got the connection to them that I wanted, probably because I didn't immediately like them. I also didn't think their relationship was developed correctly. It just didn't sit right with me.
There were a few cute moments, particularly toward the end of the book. But, I had to force myself to keep going when I wanted to DNF. I am glad I finished it, just so I can say I gave it a fair chance. The best parts of the book were in the last 20%. Those don't make up for the rest of the book, though.
I did like the family interaction. I think the family is one of my favorite parts of the book. It was strong and really showed the culture. I enjoyed seeing that.
I think this author has potential to write a really good story, but this one just didn't work for me. The main characters and their actions got on my nerves, and didn't get better until the very end.
