Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Sab H.

This book was stressful. It suffers from the bad movie disorder, you
know, where everyone can tell what's going on, it's right in the
character's face but she, sweet little Beth, is far too busy obsessing about
the guy and her own problems to figure out what was happening. And
then, when you have like 20 pages to go, they try and placate everything
when the character says "It seems so obvious now, how was I so blind"
or something like that. Which of course, makes it fall into the not
believable, I-Don't-Buy-It kind.



I liked the story, a little too depressing for my taste, but
interesting. But the fact that Beth spent so much time obsessing inside
her box (as in, she only thought of one possibility) makes it less of an
enjoying read. I felt anxious at first about when she would find out,
and rushed through the pages, but as chapters kept flying by, I just
certified I hated her as a character. She was outrageously clingy,
stupid and just plain boring. I have no idea what Derek or Scott liked
about her besides her voice and her beastly-turned-super-model looks or
whatever. The character development fell flat. It's like I read the
whole book and I don't know any of them. Well, I do know Beth, I just
wish I didn't. Plus, the book was about so many things that I'm not sure
I know what it was really about.



Overall, I enjoyed the story because it hit my soft buttons in the
ending and because it was (stress-fully) fast paced but it's probably
not a book I would highly recommend.
