This book was not for me. It was confusing and I just could not get into it. I tried reading it probably about 8 times and each time I got discouraged or uninterested in the story. It was a very choppy story, in my opinion.

I think the main reason I did not enjoy the way the book was written, was because it was written with 8 different point of views. And not only were there 8 different voices in the story to keep up with, but they were all written in different formats. And on top of that all, none of them were straightforward. They did not flow into each other, but rather they were just lined up back to back in no sort of discernible order. It was really hard for me to get into the flow of the story.

Another thing I did not like about Wisdom's Kiss was that there was not much character development before the main character left. They were supposed to be such great friends but I did not see much of that at all. Because of this, it was really hard for me to become attached to either of them.

I see this book as geared towards a younger audience because of the age of the characters. Maybe like Middle Grade or young YA. But the vocabulary of the book did not line up with its target audience. There were some very high level words throughout this books, and I know that many younger readers would have no idea what they meant.

I could not finish this book. I read most of it over my 7 or 8 attempts and I finally had to give up. But just because this book was not for me, does not mean that someone else won't enjoy it. I won't be recommending it to people, but if it looks like something you might enjoy, give it a shot and let me know what you think! I would love to hear from people that did enjoy this book. Maybe I was just missing something?

I really enjoyed love at absolute zero. It has been a while since I have read a good contemporary romance/general fiction book. I have been so into paranormal, that it was almost strange to just read about normal people and normal everyday life. But I really liked it. The characters are likeable (well, most of them- I hated Kara!) and I wanted Gunnar to find someone so bad! I was rooting for him the whole book.
Even though I am not a huge science person, I really appreciated how committed Gunnar was to science. EVERYTHING must be related to science for him, or he simply does not understand it. It was a strong theme throughout the whole book, and I have to say it was done really well. I loved the science speeches he gave to his physics class, and also how he related love to his research. The reason why I liked that he related love to his research, is that the way he viewed love changed throughout the book, but he still found a way to link it back to science. And in fact, this better understanding of love helped him in more ways than one. I loved how everything came together.
The characters were realistic, and that was the best part about them! They were not perfect in any way; each of them had their flaws. Ursula seemed to get mad too easily and could hold a grudge, Kara (well, hers is obvious) and Gunnar could be slightly annoying as well. But honestly, it made me like him even more.
Love at Absolute Zero is such an easy and engaging read! I had a great time reading it. I loved the speed dating scenes because the women were absolutely hilarious. They were taken to such extremes, and it was so funny some of the things they said. I loved Gunnar’s responses to their “questions”.
Overall, this was just a really well done book in my opinion. It was funny, intriguing, cute, and satisfying.
