Meh. It was alright. I did think that Blaire's family story was interesting. I guess after losing my parent early on from cancer, I can relate to her a little there. She seemed to have at least a little backbone. Rush was...ehhh...ok. I just didn't feel like we got to see too much going on there besides his overwhelming hotness. He spent most of the book behaving like the ever popular jackass Neanderthal, that people seem to love these days. It was all very familiar, it had the same feel as Twilight and Fifty Shades. You know, the brooding bad boy that spends 75% of the story treating the girl like garbage and telling her how shitty of a person he is. Then all of the sudden the aforementioned innocent girl whips out her magical vagina and POOF the bad boy completely changes his roguish ways, confesses his undying love and is an all around Prince Charming. I don't know, maybe I'm just in need of something different. Really though, I think the worst thing was I truly don't even know why Blaire fell in love with Rush in the first place! It seemed totally superficial!! The only thing he had going for him through most of the book was his looks. So whatever. It wasn't a bad book, it just wasn't the best either. I would probably be willing to read the second book and at least give it a chance....maybe it gets better as it goes.
