I have a copy heading my way, but I think when I get it I will set it aside before delving into it (reading Divergent and other books like that first). Thanks for the honest review Jenny!

The choppy part doesn't sound too promising, since I definitely dislike that, but I'm glad you enjoyed it even with the flaws. I'll probably pick this up sometime in the near future! :)<br /><br />Also, Gatsby is so cute! Lol on Griffin trying to lick it. I'm sure that's what my dog would have tried.

I love the premise of this book and the way of the romance (though I'm not liking the immature and totally trite Must Hide Other Boy-Crush While I'm Dating routine). As far as the choppiness... well, I guess I'm going to have to read it to surmise my own feelings. <br /><br />- Asher (from <i><a href="http://paranormalindulgence.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Paranormal Indulgence</a></i>)Marathonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998824096375362353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-81866475690606726552011-12-09T08:55:03.583-05:002011-12-09T08:55:03.583-05:00Can I just say that I want to steal Gatsby and hav...Can I just say that I want to steal Gatsby and have him live at my house!

And he is a brindle, though I guess technically a reverse brindle since he's dark with light stripes instead of light with dark like his brother (he's pictured on the About Me page).

Plus, he's adorable. And that's coming from me who isn't the hugest doggie fan. <br /><br />I was pretty skeptical on this book. I mean, the whole premise sounds good, but I have a hard time with books that have the whole past and present thing. Mostly because a lot of the time there is all this stuff that has to be remembered and then it happens too fast and I don't get a chance to believe the love story. I've had to file too many of them under insta love. Plus, I think I'd feel for Zak. I may pick this one up eventually, but It's moving to the middle of my TBR for now.
