After hearing so many wonderful things about this book, I was really excited to be loaned a copy. I made it through about 17 pages, then decided I couldn't take any more of the horribly simple writing and trite comments. To quote one, "She had wanted to be with him all the time. Corny, but true." Not one paragraph is over 3 sentences long and the book is full of italics for emphasis as if the reader isn't smart enough to know what's important.It saddens me that a book this bad would make it to #1 on the New York Bestseller list. There are so many more wonderful books out there.
