I just want to start by saying I loved this series to pieces - so please don't judge me too harshly with this review. I really enjoyed the first three books, each one I practically sat down and read front to back, only sleeping because I had work early the next morning. I enjoyed them immensely, which was why I was so disappointed when I could get quite get into this book. It clearly took me a bit longer than the others to read, but parts of it made me smile nonetheless.
It felt like it was on an entirely different wavelength writing wise. I guess I might have just not clicked with it, it might have just been the characters. I really enjoyed Beckett, but Zane from the very first paragraph I knew he wasn't my favorite main character. I had a difficult time focusing, and I struggled with some of the dialogue. Though some of it was charming, I just couldn't handle something. I thought some of his little quirks were super charming, like when he misunderstood words (as someone whose done this a million times and been teased for it), I wish we had gotten to see more of Zane's personality other than just desperation for love at first sight.
Zane just felt very one dimensional to many of the authors other characters. I really wished to enjoy this book more than I did as I loved the other parts of the series so much! I did enjoyed the two vague cameos, and obviously Theo and Jamie's appearances as always! Maybe I just read this in the wrong mindset, but I'm really hopeful for the (supposed) next book in the series, hopefully I'll click with it a bit more. This wasn't terrible, and I by no means want to deter people from reading because some characters just don't scratch my fancy -- I just couldn't get over certain aspects.
PS. EVERYTIME JANDALS WERE MENTIONED I GOT IRRATIONALLY HORRIFIED AND ANGRY, I LOOKED THOSE BAD BOYS UP AND COULDNT BELIEVE MY EYES. I also found out jandals mean Jesus sandals, and I .... lost my damn mind.
EDIT***
I also wanted to throw in that I really felt for Beckett the entire time, because that poor boy had to suffer all of Zane's oblivious innuendos and flirtations in stride ... he was really out there dying, he deserves thoughts and prayers
