Now, don’t get me wrong, this book is good. It really is. The characters and the plot are all great, it all unfolds nicely, there are some outstanding turns of phrase and the book really prods at your emotions in all the right way. It’s just, as a whole, the book is kind of like a marshmallow cupcake. Really cute and completely pleasant but somehow just not very filling.
