Genuinely thought I would enjoy this, but noooooooo. The writing style/characters/dialogue were basic, the tone far more twee than I expected, and the crux of the story rested on a baffling plot hole (and yes, I read spoilers - I know what the conclusion of that is, but it doesn't excuse the ridiculousness of the request at the beginning, and doesn't sound like a good ending imo). 

I can see why this would work for people; it's not one of those books whose success is completely baffling to me. I'm just disappointed because I wanted to be one of those people.
