The books I read usually tend to be more serious or with more emotional depth, so I'll bear this one in mind for when I want something lighter and not necessarily memorable. I definitely know what you mean about comparing to other books - now that we've seen what's out there, our ratings are put into perspective. Wonderful review, Siiri! :)Aa'Ishahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034750057312410821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-37802300311926874812014-04-15T06:43:18.851+03:002014-04-15T06:43:18.851+03:00Yeah, I've read two books by Jennifer and gave...Yeah, I've read two books by Jennifer and gave them like 3-3.5 stars. They're really the definition of cute and fluffy (: The issue is that there's not really any sustenance to them. They're also not that memorable and don't leave a huge impact on me. For example when I was reading this review I actually had to refresh myself on the storyline lol. I do remember liking the family element with the main characters father though ^.^<br /><br />Lovely review <33Larissa Holthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925362805184680375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-57458112577740191242014-04-15T05:27:01.405+03:002014-04-15T05:27:01.405+03:00You're right, this is light and fluffy and fun...You're right, this is light and fluffy and fun, but not deeply meaningful.

Sometimes you just NEED a fluufy read and this author has become the author i run too when i need one. All her books sort of follow the same pattern and their light and cheesy but i don't mind because it's her style & it's good to sometimes read one of these to get my head out of the gutter with all those dystopians/mysteries and paranormals i'm always reading! I get that this book didn't completely impress you but i didn't too me either but i'm okay with that! Hopefully your next read does though and it's a five star read ;) <br />Lily @ LilysbookblogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-56046699003045551332014-04-10T17:17:01.140+03:002014-04-10T17:17:01.140+03:00This definitely sounds like something you read whe...This definitely sounds like something you read when you can't be bothered to think. I like fluff, but only when I'm in the mood for it. It sucks that this book didn't leave a bigger impression on you.

And you know how much insta-love bothers me, but in this case, I actually understood what the insta-love and I felt like the characters really got to know each other on a personal level on that airplane. (If only I could meet cute boys on planes! All I do is sleep, so that's not happening anytime soon!) <br /><br />Anyways, I'm with you in that it's not really a deep book although it did tackle parent-kids issues well. At the end of the day, it was a cute contemporary read that's perfect to read in between dark books and hey, those are pretty great too. :) <br /><br />Lovely review, Siiri!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-1130893589465763402014-04-09T15:46:49.900+03:002014-04-09T15:46:49.900+03:00Me TOO!
