My Take: 6 out of 10 (scale here)
I was really excited about this book, but it was another one where I didn't feel like the story lived up to its potential. Part of my problem was that I did not like the guy, Willem. He seemed very flaky and without depth. Not sure if that was the character's fault or the author's. I know there is a sequel, Just One Year, and it's supposed to be from his perspective, so perhaps she was holding back with him so she would be able to develop him further in that book. Either way, it didn't really work for me. I liked Allyson, though there were several times where I was like, "How big of an idiot ARE you? Are you seriously going to do that??" I did like the writing style and am interested in other books by this author. I do not, however, think I will be reading Just One Year.
