Nope this is just too boring and bland. I don't like the characters and all I can remember about them is that they're both writers, she's 5'4 and he drives a porsche. This whole book is really trying hard to convince me that they love each other and I'm not really feeling it.

I don't dislike this nor do I love it. The book didn't have to be half as long as it is, a good chunk of it could be shortened or erased. My main problem is the pacing, it's so slow at some point and fast in others that it really threw me off reading it for a while. I also don't feel much love for the main characters and wished more happened at the ending.
