I barely read the book much less read not even halfway of it and I found myself made sour faces. The writing was not a descriptive one. Lack of emotions, in my opinion. I definitely like the cover though. It's really appealing enough to draw my attention and get to read it as soon as possible. I want to say thank you to the authors for putting their time and effort writing this book.
Anyway, I want to point out things I don't like about the book, truthfully. Honest review.
Then there comes a conversation between two characters discussing about relationship of the clients they are helping in their so-called Ex Inc. I don't know. I see the conversation as gossiping or maybe not. Just updating friends? Whatever. It seems like gossip to me. It's in Chapter 2. And automatically, I just scanned through or opened it to a random page and starts reading it. I don't feel anything book love connection. All I caught sight of were written words. It doesn't really come out "alive" motion picture. Or I'm just not seeing things clear enough(?) Hmm. Probably, it's just too contemporary YA lit which isn't really my taste. However, that isn't a good evidence to support my disliking it because I've read other contemporary YA Lit that I really like. Love it even and wept.
I just really didn't think it was a nice read. I absolutely wanted to love the book and really I do. I have no choice but to say my true opinions.
