The plot is richer than it seems at the beginning, and although romance is an important aspect of the story, there are other important developments that have nothing to do with romance and are very sensitive, and add up to the mistery behind their lives and what have led each one of them through their paths. It's an entertaining book but for my taste it lacked a bit of depth regarding no only the characters but the story development as well. For a 400 page book I would expect more depth, but I could appreciate it nonetheless.
