- My Review -
First off, The book begins with trivia not even related to the main story.
What the heck was this book?
This book had SUCH potential, and I was looking forward to reading it.
I was hugely disappointed.
The storyline didn't flow very well.
There are annoying errors and mistakes in the book.
It was almost like the author didn't care to take notice of what was happening.
The ending was horrible and ended at an odd place.
I wanted to love this book.
The only thing I can say nice about it is the book cover is very sweet.
I received a complimentary copy of (Circumstances) as a member of the
