How to tell you that this book does me absolutely not convinced? I think I will not go around the bush ...
This book does me absolutely not convinced.
At first I told myself that it was because of Ambrose, and his perfect physique of God, of his power, and his muscles, and the fact that it's a great wrestler, and also because of his hair long ... - I hate boys with long hair. I do not like it, that's it. I always imagine fat and all.
Then a paragraph later, I told myself that it was because of Fern - did you know, "Fern" means "fern", good - because it is ugly, redhead, glasses ... This should not make her a "ugly" but apparently so.
Then after I said it was a combination of both. How do you call it again? A ... yes, a cliché!
Very cliché from the beginning, everything I love.
Then there was Bailey, the BFF disabled. I thought, "hey, I'm not surprised." Then the hottie BFF, I thought, "hey, I'm still not surprised." I thought there were a lot of shots, nothing very original.
So I waited, I saw pass the hundred temporal ellipses which were so numerous that I felt had happened one or two centuries. But in fact it was past three years.
Then he had the trigger. The moment that I should have made love, begin attaching me ...
Then I saw a male version of the unbearable heroin, which does as its head. I have seen the evolution of the Fern Ugly Betty picture or Verliebt in Berlin, but with so ... mundane banality. I saw "I am ugly, you're beautiful" and start again, start again, start again, all with the longest pity I could read or see in my life - almost. These three hundred pages have appeared to me long! How many breaks I had to take to keep me from throwing the book against the wall? I count the most.
Did I mention that the "hottie BFF" is just there when you need her? For Action needs, if we do not know where to find it? Otherwise, it completely disappears from history? No? That is fact.
So yes, the game of beauty and ugliness, their consequences on relationships, about love, about where we draw this love, all this is interesting. And I would have loved that this game is best played. But it was - in my eyes! subjectivity - and terribly flat surface. The details are there, yes, but not what it takes. Read more paragraphs about how Fern dance actually repels me more than anything. And the war? Where is she? We hardly see anything! It can be pressed to see the evolution of the relationship between Fern and Ambrose, but then to what we hardly noticed her departure, how can we miss?
No, the truth is that 300 pages is too much for so little work and so much pity, as it could have been so much better.
Fortunately Bailey was there to make everything a little more ... "happy", fortunately few love scenes was pretty cute to make me want to read 10 minutes. Fortunately.
A big disappointment for me, who expected so much, who so wanted to cry with my countrymen. And yet I feel as an iceberg ice.
What I liked most: The idea, which is unfortunately not quite worked for me.
What I liked least: The rest?
