Honestly I worry about this genre when people feel compelled to apologize for four star reviews.

And if not, I apologize.
;P
lol, you don't need to apologise. I shouldn't have been so unclear. The question actually was for Isa, because I noticed a review just before, for Carry the Ocean, which opened with an apology for not 5-starring it like everybody else.
Emma Sea wrote: "was that the review for Carry the Ocean??"YES! Ha ha ... I mean the first paragraph makes you think he's going to be super critical and I was so looking forward to .... you know, actual commentary. It's not like I want someone to bash that book, I don't. It's just every single review says virtually NOTHING about it other than a plot summary and the words "love" a half million times. I was looking forward to some critical thinking, even if the conclusion that this is best book in all of human history is the same.
But in reality it's basically a five star review with a few asterisks were the word "love" has been replaced with the word "like". It's so disturbing to me that people feel compelled to apologize for that.
