I did....it was a very good review Julie

Thanks Carrie :) I heard you were having a hard time getting into the book, has it gotten any better for you?

I finished it and was glad I did !! I really enjoyed it after it started to pick up ! I was so afraid when Charlie thought she exposed him !

I liked it from the very start, from their meeting in the sea, it was funny and Barbara Elsborg had a great idea to start it like that then explain how they'd end up like that and than pick up again in here and now.

I was funny, sad, interesting, and I really liked the ending but I didn't give it all 5 stars because I would not pick it up again. I read, really liked it, but do I want to reread it or some parts of it? No. I enjoyed it but I moved on.

For sure I will recommend it to my friends because it was great read but like I said I do not feel compelled to read it again :)

like ive said i think it was a very dark version of love unscripted,it was very sad and a moving story,noy summit i norm read but did enjoy i agree with u margo i wouldnt pick it up again so i know i didnt love it im always rereading my books that i love but wont with this one,the romance was what i think made this story thats what kept me reading i soo wanted the happy ending that it got :)

I loved the ending, with the twins that they had together! It was a little predictable, especially because we got Charlie's agents perspective. I knew that he was going to somehow make them have a huge blow out and leave each other, but it was still enjoyable.

Yeah the end was sweet but I actually thought that Kate will gonna end as a lingerie designer and there was nothing about what Charlie ended on doing so something was missing for me but it was fun to read

Very true. Okay, so favorite part?

my favorite part was when she kissed him in the cafe and walked out !

After being rude to him, that was hilarious!

Julie(Reading By The Beach) wrote: "After being rude to him, that was hilarious!"

I totally agree!

my fav part was,when hippo comes out of the bathroom and puts dickhead in his place soooo cool

That was a good part too, I also like how they secluded themselves from the real world almost afraid to take part in it. That's when they truly bonded and became dependent on one another.

Yes agree with u 100% I loved when they locked themselves away for days from the world they've both got the same gentle but strong souls def a soul mate book about destiny because what r the chances of u bumping into someone in the ocean ?

Sounds crazy, but I was just a little jealous of Mermaid for a minute. I've always wondered what it would feel like for someone to "need" me rather than just "want" me

no i get what ur saying,being someones cure and reason for breathing is alot better than being someones drug!

that and being "wanted" could be like being used.

I agree with both of you. Speaking of 'needing', have you guys seen the movie "Love and Other Drugs"?

Nope sounds like summit good to watch after reading this book :)

It was filmed brilliance! And emotional.

I'll check it out sounds like a good one

Well I actually think that u should be both "wanted" and "needed", you shouldn't be one or the other because it can hurt like hell. If your needed and someone claims he/she can't live without you you have a suicidal case on your hand (I'm talking from experience here), and if your just wanted that can mean your only good for sex and nothing more. So I think blend that two and your gonna be just fine :)

Very insightful, I like it! :)
