My Thoughts: I have a confession to make. . . I judged a book by its cover and I ended up disappointed. I had such crazy high hopes based just off of this cover and boy oh boy was I wrong. First off, what is with the language Lynn? For such a juvenile story this contains some pretty strong verbage which really indicates to me that the author doesn't quite know how to develop characters. If you want your character to appear tough or heartless yada, yada, yada then be creative! SHOW me through their actions that they are a certain way or that their actions are cruel. I just thought that was really weak writing. (Hey, that gives me hope that maybe I too can someday be published.)

Similar to other reviews I have read, I too found Lucy to be incredibly weak. However, that didn't bother me all that much because I thought it added humour to the story. I highly doubt we were supposed to take the stringing each glass bead in the moonlight while whispering 'I love you' seriously. I really think it was supposed to add an element to laugh at and you know what? It worked. I laughed my butt off at how ridiculous Lucy was. The girl is seriously off her rocker.

The moment that should have made my heart break just didn't. I think it would have worked had Alex been a character the reader could like at least slightly. This kid was a little punk though! How could anyone root for Alex and Lucy to be together when he says such demeaning things to her. Example?

“You’ll need something to do while I’m gone."

I wanted to smack him! As if she wouldn't know what to do with herself. Okay sure, she was obsessed but good heavens give her a little credit that maybe she can have fun on her own!

Overall, I am sorry to say that I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone and I hope it never becomes a movie.

Rating: 1/5 Weak writing, weak characters, good premise and a smidge of humour do not a good book make.
