2.5
I would of given this book a solid 3 for the first half of the book... but the second half has it at a resounding 2 stars. So this book was a 2.5 star read.
For the most part I really enjoyed Lucy and Diego. Diego was just over the top caring and pretty much insta fell in love even if he denied it. He did so many things that he shouldn't of for his scheme to be a success because he just wanted Lucy to be happy. Then they started their journey to Spain and he became unsufferable. Lucy, on the other hand, was bland and boring in the beginning but than blossomed into a better character once they were on their way to Spain. She made me start to root for and love her at that point.
Basically, the book felt split in two, and there were parts in each that I liked and disliked. I really hated that the men all thought they knew what was best for Lucy and never let her have a choice. Even Diego. That's mostly what I was mad about and what caused my drop in rating.
