This has been sat on my bookshelf for about eight years by now. I must have picked it up with the intention of reading it at least five times but the opening chapters didn't keep me hooked at all. After sticking it out, I can say this is a fairly sweet love story with enough feeling in it to tug at your heartstrings, if you're into that sort of thing. The triple narrative can be tricky, but I found it pushed me to keep reading so I didn't get lost as the days went by.
