Another one in the young adult romance journal. The good things about this book are that it was free and it was a quick read. The plot is not new, the narrative style is not new, it lacks totally in editing which is the fault of the publisher and not the author.
It is an immature love tale, stretched too much with no real substance to the characters, with many loose ends- the chief protagonist is love lorn, and there is an attempt to make it realistic by adding all the details of texting etc. etc., but he has no care for anything else for four years. He is twenty something and this is all that he does. And then suddenly he is spiritual and looking for meaning in life! With some editing, the book could have been a much better read. But it isn’t well edited at all.
