a tad bit disappointing. i saw it involved a french girl and was very excited to get that pov. although not bad, the timelines really through me off. a lot of the time, i didn’t know who was talking or if we were in the past or future. lacked a plot which is fine, but it really didn’t go anywhere. the characters were great though. i originally gave it 3 stars, but bumped it up because this book stayed on my mind for a week after i read it.
