If I ever choose to read a romance novel, I usually go for the super heavy cheesy and sappy romance. But my friend gave me this book as a gift so I had to give it a chance.
I found that the writing really flowed however towards the end there were some parts that were a bit choppy and didn't go super nicely together.
At first, I didn't think that I was going to really enjoy this book but as I kept reading I started liking it more and more. At Chapter 22, I had to take a break and stop reading because I just knew what was going to happen. I read the last bit of the book with a heavy heart. I like to rate books based on their ability to make me feel things, and this book made me feel a lot.
I thought that I knew what direction the book was going but I was wrong. The ending had a turn, but then it did become predictable again. I still enjoyed it though, I thought it was super heartfelt.
