How To Say Goodbye by Amber Lin
4.0
Sweet
You have the sweet, shy girl who is drawn in by the big bad guy- except, she doesn't know he's bad. He's the charming, sweet-talking guy who doesn't stick around. He tells her this, just as she tells him that she'll only be sticking around for as long as her internship.
They're too different individuals, with their own separate burdens...Can they find love, and will the big bad guy recognise it when it comes along?
With this book, I had no problem with the writing- the dialogue was smart, sweet and sometimes quite humourous. A book where Robin hood meets Snow white- can they make it work? But, this book is no fairy tale- it's just two people who are lucky in love, and learn to accept it, and discover it in the most unlikely of places.
The only trouble I had was believing that a woman deprived of human touch, for so long, could find herself in bed with a man (within hours of having met him). That and there was lot of sex: if they weren't having it they were thinking about it. I'm no prude but too much of something is not usually good. It made the book repetitive.
