It could upset some people, I mean...not that I'd mind! I love books with focus on characters and things that deal with tough topics, etc. But it's just something I've thought about. haha Glad you enjoyed the novel!!<br /><br />Shooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-27342706755971197762013-05-22T00:38:06.069+01:002013-05-22T00:38:06.069+01:00I can't wait for this one, I've seen so ma...I can't wait for this one, I've seen so many great reviews that reiterate what you said about the romance and characters.

Now there are so many positive reviews coming out for it and I am really kicking myself for having not requested it when it was on NG. I love the sound of Cricket and I think I would appreciate hating Jules for how she treats her. Also, a little forbidden romance with the younger sibling? Yes, Please!

I love it when I can be taken aback by a more emotional story than I went in for at the beginning. And it's a debut? Oh, wow! I've seen about 3-4 4 star reviews now and that's pretty good for a debut novelist.
