If I wasn't an adult and I was able to avoid comparing
this story to Arcos’ other novels, I may have starred it higher. But I am an
adult and I loved her other books. Although there is feeling in this one; it is
also just a simple teenage love story that ends happily ever after. I missed
the raw emotion and heart-wrenching sadness of There will Come a Time and Out
of Reach. I tend to deviate from authors that get in a rut and therefore the
books all start to sound alike. Arcos may be attempting to not have this happen
and tried a different angle. However, I feel she went too sappy for her writing
style and lost the raw feeling. Her characters came off as pathetic instead of sympathetic.
