I really really wanted to like this book. It sounded like a good book. After I started reading it though it was completely unrealistic. He fell in love at first sight and in the next chapter he wondered if it was real or not and a sentence after that it was real again. That's when I stopped reading it. So it might have gotten better but...doubtful. :/
What can I say? Marley Mathews hit a home run with this book. The characters were spot on, a wee bit of intrigue, and an amazing plot. What more can you ask for in a book. The only thing I would change is the length, I want more!
