Liv, Forever by Amy Talkington
4.0

I was so fangirl over the cover for Liv, Forever by Amy Talkington . It has to be one of my all-time favorites. Plus, I love boarding schools with a mystery.

Likes:
The history behind the boarding school was really interesting, the mystery of the ghosts and their paths were intriguing.
The art history in the book was awesome. You can definitely tell that the author is passionate about art and knows her stuff.
Liv wasn't an awful main character. I could see us being friends. I just really am not a huge fan of first person POV, it always seems to make the characters more selfish.
I really liked both the guys, Gabe and Malcolm. They were interesting and I like that they finally decide to work together when it means saving lives.

Gripes:
This is one of those times I would like a half star. I would have rated this more as 3.5 than a full 4. The beginning did not intrigue me, I would have rated it a 2 until Liv started investigating her own death.
There is insta-love. ARGH. This book probably would have been a 5 for me if Malcolm didn't tell Liv that he loved her so early on. It was going ok, closer to slow-burn and then he pops out "I love you." BARF!
