I really thought I was going to get a lot of responses from people who loved the book, mad at me for not loving it. Instead I find a bunch of people who felt the same way about it.Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571318111686751924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488907836081418565.post-978551046719190562009-10-07T23:21:17.577-06:002009-10-07T23:21:17.577-06:00I normally love Shannon Hale but I disliked this b...I normally love Shannon Hale but I disliked this book a lot because it was so contrived. I mean a relationship is based on so much more than a kiss. And there were points where I felt it was a case of the lady doth protest too much. I mean if you knew the relationship is platonic, why do you keep needing to justify it?Llehnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03808225636111637085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488907836081418565.post-81784123862773003362009-10-07T17:22:50.142-06:002009-10-07T17:22:50.142-06:00Felix the cat... hehehe

I thought there were definitely funny moments, but I hated Felix (also his name, it made me think of Felix the cat - not a sexy movie star). I had good guy friends before I got married, but as soon as I married, those relationships could never be the same.<br /><br />This was a tough book for me, because I wanted to love it like I love all of Shannon's other books. Somehow I just couldn't love it, let alone like it.
