I’ll admit, on some levels, some of the choices made were more than I could probably handle in real life. I was SO on board!! It’s essentially about some that see further than what is socially acceptable, go in deeper than appearances and forgive mistakes (no matter what they might be). You forget “what he is” (homeless) because “who” he is… becomes the only thing that matters. So absolutely understandable, despite my own reservations. Their relationship was so unconventional, so unlikely and yet, it was perfectly pure and sweet. On the edge of my seat every time they met.

It was magical, gentle, serene, and a bit melancholy.

When I started the book, my first impressions (the first 25 to 30% or maybe even a bit more)… I was absolutely, completely, under it’s spell. But because it basically went all-out crazy in the middle, I’m sticking with 4 stars. This book, had it continued in the mode I thought it was going in, was going to be a 5 star, for me. I almost couldn’t put it down, and all I did was think about it when I had to.

Not that it wasn’t exciting, or nervewrackingly good. And it’s because I’m a bit disappointed in the direction the story took. I’m on the fence between really really liked it and loved it. Umm… okay maybe liked it a lot? Ohhhhh I dunno.
