I think I'll have to pass on this one because: 1) I have a really, really strong distaste for instantaneous romances, 2) I can rarely enjoy a book if I can't connect with the main character!, 3) It just doesn't sound like my cup of tea. Thank you so much, Hilda, for your honest review! I'm sorry to hear that it wasn't all that great for you. </3Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678009807863670317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-15486575551590381892012-06-16T03:16:39.410+07:002012-06-16T03:16:39.410+07:00...Now I don't know whether to read it LOL I h......Now I don't know whether to read it LOL I have just started it, and yup, it's really confusing to me. I thought it would be an epic romance of some sorts... (yes, I'm one of those people who likes to read romance in every book!)<br /><br />Sad to hear it didn't deliver! But I liked your honest review, Hilda. <3 Now I know more less what to expect with the book :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-64001199486550730322012-06-15T03:22:44.646+07:002012-06-15T03:22:44.646+07:00Oh, Hilda!

It sounds like such a sweet read, but I hate it when I'm left confused in a world and that tends to be popular in dystopian books. But I actually DO love reading about psychology (since I'm a writer who likes to understand the minds of people), so I think I might have to give it a shot for that exact reason :) <br /><br />Thank you so much for the beautiful, thorough, and honest review, Hilda! Your honesty means a lot to me and I'll be sure to take it under wing :') <3Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-56439824094346728252012-06-15T01:27:18.095+07:002012-06-15T01:27:18.095+07:00Confusion when reading a book is THE most annoying...Confusion when reading a book is THE most annoying thing ever! It's a shame you didn't connect with Ana, I hate it when I can't warm to a protagonist! Somehow, I don't really like when characters 'fall in love' instantly - it just feels far-fetched and utterly ridiculous!<br /><br />I was excited about this book before because of the synopsis - I might still give it a try as I sometimes enjoy psychological fiction but I'll probably put it off and just wait for it turn up in the library :)<br /><br />Thank you for the beautiful, honest review, Hilda <3Beverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592918949547677731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-20116359576519783422012-06-14T21:42:07.599+07:002012-06-14T21:42:07.599+07:00HMM, I've heard mixed things about it!

I feel like I would get lost in this book too! I'm probably going to pass on this book but wonderful review, Hilda. :)elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098549352641704742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-16614867300845287462012-06-14T21:37:56.647+07:002012-06-14T21:37:56.647+07:00Hmm...

I was very excited for this book when I first got it but it seems like people are either offended by this book or, like you, liked parts of it but weren't blown away. Plus I don't like the sound of this insta-love - it seems to be stalking me recently. ;) I'm still willing to give it a go and hope I enjoy it. :DSam (Realm of Fiction)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04440380021875536125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-15380092300253557172012-06-14T20:19:41.897+07:002012-06-14T20:19:41.897+07:00Darn it, I love stories about mental institutions....Darn it, I love stories about mental institutions. In fact, I've been drawn to them ever since I first saw Girl, Interrupted! but did it have to be ruined with instalove? It's becoming sort of a dealbreaker for me, I just can't get into a book if such a huge and important part is handled poorly. <br />The reviews have been all over the place, but I trust your opinion and I don't think this is really for me.<br />On a side note, new look again?

I'm wondering if I should get a copy or no, but it's highly unlikely. :/<br />I hate when I don't understand a story. It makes me feel utterly dumb and I just want throw the book away. I probably wouldn't have had the courage to start the book all over again.<br />I'm not sure if I'll be comfortable with the way the patients at the the hospital are treated. <br />You also mentioned a word that's a turn off - instant love.<br />I don't understand why authors keep adding them to the story. Can't they just build up the romance slowly ?<br />Ughh !<br />Thanks for the honest review, Hilda :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-30198870892795470142012-06-14T10:24:17.416+07:002012-06-14T10:24:17.416+07:00I really am tired of instant love, unless it's...I really am tired of instant love, unless it's done in a way that makes sense within the story or something, you know? I am fascinated by pyschology so some of this sounds interesting to me...but I don't know. I feel like I'd get lost too, and I'm not really looking for a book these days where I have to think too much about what's happening. I'd rather think about other issues within the book.<br /><br />-LaurenShooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-58379380956005761272012-06-14T08:45:47.241+07:002012-06-14T08:45:47.241+07:00>.> Gah, I sincerely detest instant love.
