The premise intrigued me - how would I feel if a childhood love became a famous author after telling my story (even a fictionalized version of it)? However, the drama promised in the description fell fairly flat in execution. The reader is made to "read" the fictionalized story of the main character's childhood, a childhood traumatized her so much she didn't tell her long term boyfriend most of the story. The reader is also made to feel this is building up to an explosive confrontation between the Emmiline and Jace, but no, not really. Just finish the book he tells her, that will make it all clear. Right.

Not for me.
