WARNING, MY REVIEW IS SPOILER FREE BUT SOME REVIEWS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE SO IF YOU WANT TO GO INTO THIS BOOK BLIND I WOULD ADVISE ABOUT NOT READING OTHER REVIEWS ... unless the review says SPOILER FREE.

This was me yesterday …

so a few friends threw a few suggestions at me about what to read next.... this was it!

I changed. My rating to 4 cause it was good just the whole fear of flying was too much......

Okay let me just say I was so looking forward to this book. Saw all the great reviews and thought yes, this is going to be good. So lets start with the positive, loved Part one and Part three of the book. Loved Paul, he was funny, witty, cute and passionate. What's not to like, right. Loved how they got together, seemed like Eliza got him and shared the same passion for music. Then Part 2 happened. This I changed. My rating to 4 cause it was good just the whole fear of flying was too much......

Okay let me just say I was so looking forward to this book. Saw all the great reviews and thought yes, this is going to be good. So lets start with the positive, loved Part one and Part three of the book. Loved Paul, he was funny, witty, cute and passionate. What's not to like, right. Loved how they got together, seemed like Eliza got him and shared the same passion for music. Then Part 2 happened. This is where the book lacked and frankly was quite dumb. So Paul doesn't want to be on the road without his soulmate, get that. She won't go cuz she is afraid to fly, even though she promises him. So he wants to cancel but she can't let that happen so what does she do, acts like she is cheating on him, really. Seriously, this is what you choose to do so he goes on the road, over fear of flying, Come on! Can u say ridiculous? So breaking your soulmates heart is less painful then say trying to get on a plane. Break his heart, have him think you r a lying tramp is less painful then getting on a plane. This doesn't make any sense. So many other ways to handle, say u r going then once he committed back out and say you will try to meet up with him and do your best to overcome that fear. Mean there are classes for that. So anyway I get that the author wanted to separate them during this part of the book, but really this is what she came up with. Her fear of flying, I can see if someone is threatened or anything else for her to be dumb, but not because of flying. The only thing about part 2 that i liked was Loring. be really is a good guy.Another reason I didn't get this book is because I just didn't like Eliza, besides her being dumb she is annoying and can't keep her nose out of her brothers marriage. Who is she to say to his wife, her friend that he can't drop out of the band. Stay out of if, ths is something that was discussed between them. For someone who supposedly understands Paul passion you encourage him to sell out to winkles instead of Jack, come on anyone could see that's jack was a better fit. Paul trusted you and u acted all pouty and pushed him. Then u had him sellout again by touring with a band he didn't want to by making him a deal which you didn't hold up. Then she has the gaul yo call Paul a basterd cuz he novef on when she is the one who was stupid and broke his heart over flying, really, this is why i didnt like her. Good news part 3 of the book got better. So again, not a bad read, not a great read, just okay. That's all for now,

WHEN I LEARNED HOW TO FLY
I WANTED TO TOUCH THE COLORS OF THE
BLEEDING SUN AND THEN I FELL FROM THE SKY
YOU NEVER SAW ME AGAIN
NOT EVEN WHEN I RETURNED
YOU NEVER NOTICED MY BROKEN HEART
OR HOW MY WINGS WERE BURNED
BUT IF THEY TELL YOU THEY SAW ME
DO A SWAN DIVE OFF THAT BRIDGE
REMEMBER I'VE ALWAYS BEEN MORE AFRAID
TO DIE THAN I EVER WAS TO LIVE
AND ON THE DAY I DISAPPEAR
YOU'LL ALL FORGET I WAS EVEN HERE
I'LL FLOAT AROUND FROM COAST TO COAST AND
SING ABOUT HOW YOU MADE ME A GHOST.

I have mixed feelings on this book, parts of it I really loved but there were parts that really bothered me. So, even though the writing was great, I couldn't give it 5 stars. I'd say the book as a whole was almost 5 stars but my enjoyment was probably at a 3.5 so I settled in the middle. Eliza's stupid decisions pissed me off and sometimes Paul was just too much. The end felt rushed and I don't think things got resolved as well as I would've liked.

Even though some of this book didn't work for ...more
