Sigh... I should have just DNF'd this book. The only reason why I read it from beginning to end was because it was part of my "Reading Across The USA" challenge for Florida. Had it not been part of my challenge I would have DNF'd this at page 50 when it became clear how absolutely boring it was.
I didn't start getting interested in the book until halfway through part two when Anna's POV of events started being explained more in detail. I honestly wish the Author would have started the book out with a bit of Anna's backstory instead of it starting out with Gavin's POV that literally had nothing to do with the entire plot of the book.
In the end the book went sailing across the room like Anna's paper plane. My farewell words to the book a frustrated and disappointed "I'm sorry".
To add insult to injury...
The ending was as dull as I expected it to be.
