Through the first quarter of the book I was in love with every aspect of this book. I completely identified with the main character Beatrice, and even though Jacob seemed WAY too good to be true, I still loved their relationship and didn't think the whole thing too sweet. It seemed to work. Where I started having a hard time with the book is when Beatrice first gets mad at Jacob for meeting up with a new girlfriend. It seemed WAY overboard. After that the characters started to annoy me. Then Jacob's weird moodiness...I know book characters aren't supposed to be perfect, but something seemed off to me as a reader. I guess I couldn't fully understand the characters and I didnt find the writing to be in such a way where the reader shouldn't understand...I just felt a disconnect. I think because I fell so in love with the chracters in the beginning then quickly found them annoying I couldn't completely fall in love with this book. I also didnt find the ending as sad as it probably should have been for me. I do give the author credit for excellent writing and story telling. As far as writing I was pleased with this book. Something just happened in the middle to throw me off from completely loving it.
