It's a little sad that after all of the awesomeness that this one fell flat though. I can understand why, I'm personally a fan of slow building romances as they're realistic to real life. I find when the love bomb gets dropped to early it can make things seem surreal and contrived. I can also understand why writing in 3rd person made you feel disconnected from the characters. I feel as if third person is best for developing setting/time/mystery/whatever but not character. This becomes a issue when a novel is so character driven, as contemporaries tend to be. <br /><br />I'm still glad that you enjoyed the chemistry and overall plotline though c: It does sound different from the typical contemporaries I've read lately. I'm also intrigued by the ending and "Danny's" secret. <br /><br />Lol "Danny", I totally feel you on the creepiness of that name now. I also watch Revenge and omg. Tyler was definitely crazy, but i'm pretty sure I dislike Daniel more. He's just so horrible. Same goes for Conrad. I love Nolan and Jack though (: Can't wait to watch more Revenge, I need the new season.<br /><br />Lovely review! <33Larissa Holthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925362805184680375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-17504414853612888102014-06-29T17:34:32.968+03:002014-06-29T17:34:32.968+03:00So i don't want you to come after me with pitc...So i don't want you to come after me with pitchforks but I've never hear of Priscilla Glenn before! *hides from you* BUT now i'm pretty interested in her stuff since you just love her so much! I'm sorry this one didn't live up to your expectations, hopefully your next read by her will! I don't think i've ever read a third person POV books that wasn't fantasy. I can't see t working for any contemporary read, it would just feel...off.

Why is instalove still a thing seriously *groans* You want them to say the L Word sometime but not when it comes as a shock too soon in the story. The chemistry and emotional connection definitely sounds great, though!

A third person POV in ...Yeah, I know what you mean. A third person POV in a contemporary book sounds really off for some reason, especially since contemporaries are often so character-driven. It would only make sense to put it in 1st person to give it that personal touch. And sucks regarding the romance! I want the L-word to be given at the right time and at the right moment. When it feels like even I have made an emotional connection to both of them. But I'm happy to know the rest of the aspects were great :D<br /><br />Faye at <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato Reviews</a>Faye M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482378962410177583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-46796953070662745932014-06-28T15:47:05.772+03:002014-06-28T15:47:05.772+03:00Well I haven't heard of this author but I got ...Well I haven't heard of this author but I got to say that 3rd person POV is not my fave either. I never connect with the characters that way. Not to mention insta-love. It seems to be a new love-triangle mainstream. I remember before every book had love-triangles now every seem to have insta-love. Hopefully it won't live for long. Sorry this book wasn't as good as you hoped but still glad you enjoyed it.

I hate it when I think I've found a new safe-bet author who suddenly isn't quite as safe. Yes, I know you still liked this, but insta-love. ALSO--I get you. I'm not afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of what's IN the dark.

I need to read something by her very soon if she's such a favorite of yours. <br />I'm sad that this didn't live up to your expectations, but that happens all the time. You can't love everything from your favorite authors all the time. Like, I loved everything Richelle Mead wrote except for Bloodlines. Of course, that has changed now because it's one of my favorite series, but I think I get what you mean. <br />Anyways, writing-wise, yeah I do think 3rd person POV is the work of the devil. I feel like it only works really well in YA fantasy books. I try to avoid reading contemporaries of any kind that has a 3rd person POV. <br />Also, boo to the insta-love. I think that would really bother me as well, especially since they spit out the L-word so quickly!<br />Anyways, I'll probably avoid this one, but I'm going to definitely try one of the two Priscilla Glenn book you mentioned! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-92045344126852194472014-06-27T13:07:18.307+03:002014-06-27T13:07:18.307+03:00You know, I've never read a Priscilla Glenn no...You know, I've never read a Priscilla Glenn novel before. Actually (get ready to gasp), I've never heard of Priscilla Glenn *hides from forks you're probably planning to throw*. I actually never plan to read her now after reading this review ;) KIDDING. I'M KIDDING. Hehe.<br /><br />I get what you mean about third POV, but sometimes it can work so well. Like in the Raven Cycle series. It's EPIC in that. <br /><br />Insta-love in this though (or insta-like or insta-WHATEVS)? Hmmm. I like the slow-build. Gimme slow-build, not this instant mix romance malarky! <br /><br />Scared of the unknown? Are you scared of oblivion too? Don't be, because "if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that's what everyone else does." ;)Allie @ Little Birdie Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368572335905353234noreply@blogger.com
