I'm kind of a huge fan of characters that take a little bit of adjusting to get used to, so I'm interested in reading about Pia.<br /><br />Fantastic review! I'm looking forward to starting this series.Tabitha S.http://tabithasbookblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-21879761844271175122013-07-04T16:09:11.891+01:002013-07-04T16:09:11.891+01:00I like your cover better than the US cover, Leanna...I like your cover better than the US cover, Leanna. This sounds like it would be a fun and frustrating read at the same time. I think Pia's actions would annoy me because it seems she doesn't think much of consequences. Hopefully, she grows as a person through the read. Great review, Leanna! :)♥Rachel♥noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-64658568092613195292013-07-03T21:04:42.192+01:002013-07-03T21:04:42.192+01:00I know!

Before the NA tag came about I'd read plenty of books like this that were tagged chick-lit -- this one really doesn't follow the same path as a lot of the New Adult titles that are out at the moment.

I'm a huge foodie and I think that's such an interesting twist and plot point I haven't seen in a novel before. <br /><br /><br />I was also pleasantly surprised to hear that the romance takes a back seat to friendship and personal growth. In my mind, that's what 'New Adult' should ideally be about, and I really respect this different approach to the genre. <br /><br /><br />I'll almost certainly be adding this one to my TBR list.

Pia sounds like a handful, and I'm sure I'd have a few issues with her, but it sounds like it still managed to entice you, so I'm definitely curious now!

Pia seems like she might be a bit of a challenging girl to really connect to (at least for me), but I'm glad she at least grew on you over time Leanna. That means she must mature a bit even if she still gets herself into one dramatic situation after the next. This one is new to me so thanks for putting it on my radar!Jenny @ Supernatural Snarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-51619888349166224172013-07-01T14:31:46.428+01:002013-07-01T14:31:46.428+01:00I love gemma burgess and am so excited to read thi...I love gemma burgess and am so excited to read this, especially after reading your review.
