I'm sure this book isn't for everyone, but I really enjoyed it and I hope you do too when you give it a try! :)Kiersten Kozbialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00538943081866009856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-58947553767444624822017-06-11T12:35:39.636-04:002017-06-11T12:35:39.636-04:00I've had this book on my shelf for at least 6 ...I've had this book on my shelf for at least 6 months and I've not picked it up. I think because I saw a couple of less than stellar reviews I became a bit hesitant. You're review definitely gives me hope that I might actually like it. I'll definitely be moving it back up my TBR pile. It deserves a chance and it sounds really interesting which is why I wanted to read in the first place. How did I forget that?Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-50648753427997236502017-06-09T11:20:12.543-04:002017-06-09T11:20:12.543-04:00I've seen a lot of negative reviews for this o...I've seen a lot of negative reviews for this one too, so I guess it's just not for everyone.

I didn't love it quite as much as you did, but I definitely appreciated it! I agree that the vibe was a lot like The Accident Season, that is a great comparison! Your playlist is great too! Glad you enjoyed it, and great review!

I actually really love that book myself. I love that you put together a playlist for this review.
