I'm not sure why it seems to be getting such a lot of average reviews. One person commented that they liked Kate more than Ned and wished she had played a larger role. And yeah, actually, I don't think Ned is an amazing character; I'd probably have liked it more if they had switched places and the story was from her perspective. I also felt that I would have enjoyed a slightly less abrupt writing style, with longer sentences and paragraphs and some slower-paced scenes. But even despite those things I would still give it an enthusiastic 5 stars.]]>
