I really wanted to love this book. The concept seemed like it would be just my cup of tea and the cover art was gorgeous.
But.
This book was 352 pages of miscommunication. I have a low tolerance for stupidity and find my self even less compromising when it lasts for 352 pages. Maybe I'm an impatient and heartless monster, but reading about character's I've literally just met *pine over eachother and interact with the grace and emotional intelligence of a one day old pea embryo* is not entertaining for me.
