This novel was not at all what I
expected. The first time I started to read this novel, I had a copy that
was missing about 20 pages at the start. So the first time when read part of it I
was confused and lost. I chalked all that up to the missing pages, but when I
got a new book (Thanks Indigo!!!) I was sure it would be a good read. I did not
enjoy it. I’m not trying to be a pessimist, but there isn’t barely anything I
liked about this book. I thought that the characters were under developed and
that the main character for lack of a better word was stupid. The other thing
that I didn’t enjoy was the way time moved. It seemed either to be going by too
slow or too quickly and I had trouble figuring which time of the year it was.
The one positive thing I have to say about this book is that the setting was
one which I hadn’t read about much before. I like to read about other places
and explore them.
♥Character♥
♥Birdy/ Amy: I think that she was a poor
choice for the main character and she was not real enough for me to enjoy
reading about. The choices she made throughout the entire book were poor and
had me upset. I understand being 16 years old is not easy, but you can not
simply be this stupid and still have test scores to get into Oxford
♥Cleo: I would have loved learning
more about Cleo. What kind of best friend is she? How did she cope with Amy’s
incidents? I was not surprised when Cleo and Griffin ended up together, it
seemed like they should have been all along, Amy was just far to blind to see
(it even says this in the book, with different phrasing of course).
♥Griffin: He deserved honesty from the
very start. Birdy had no excuse to treat him the way she did. In the end
though, he deserved Cleo. They seemed like they would go well together. I felt
horrible about his mother, but I do wonder what happened to her.
♥Pete: The fact that he was still
in Amy’s life surprised me. Not because I think he is a bad guy, but because of
the way she treated him. She slept with him and then treated him like shit.
Yes, there should have been protection that’s a no brainer. But he still stood
by her through most of what was going on. Good for him!
♥Amy’s Dad: I think that Amy’s father
was going through a really tough time, but he was in denial until her pregnancy
brought him back to earth. Hopefully he can forgive her.
♥Amy’s Mother: Good for you, for following
your dreams lady, but could you not have discussed what happened with Amy’s
Dad, I hope that in the long term they are both happy.
♥Moments to Remember♥
♥Final Line: “Number 40: LOVE IS WORTH THE RISK”
Thanks
for reading,
Love,
