First of all, let me say this: I am a HUGE romance junkie. I'm also very Catholic. So I thought I'd love this book. However, I'm so sorry I wasted my time with this mess. Where do I begin?The romance was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow, which caused the book to be super boring, as there was nothing else interesting about the whole story.This was mentioned before, but I'll say it again. The way the kids talked was so not accurate. Kids don't talk like that.Sophie was made to be stupid. I hated that no one either corrected her speech, and that she never learned from how people speak.The way this book was written was incredibly disconnected. I couldn't connect to the characters, I couldn't relate to any of them because not enough time was spent on describing them. More time was spent explaining all their activities and none of their thoughts or feelings.Finally, what in the world was wrong with Sophie's hands? They were always sweaty or wet or something.
