A slight parallel of an earlier romance that is written about in a diary. I loved the book until the ending, which I found unbelievable. I accept a lot when a book is written as a fantasy but when it's written as pure fiction, then it has to make a little sense. So my rating would have been about...

Since reading 'Blackberry Winter' last year I have become a fan of Sarah Jio. This is the fourth book now that I have read of hers and I absolutely loved it. I love her style of doing two stories in one book. I do have to say though that I did find Esther's story to be a bit more interesting than Em...

Cheaters never prosper! However, the only dislike I have of the story is that Emily and Jack never got to...

After the shit-storm I just tried to read, this was really nice. Loved where the book was set-in a part of the US I'm not very familiar with but would like to explore more. Of course the protagonist didn't get with the guy I would have liked her to in the end, but they never do for me. As of lately ...
