This book was bundled with 7 other novels, and it's obvious why. The characters are unbelievable, the situations where the two protagonists meet are unbelievable, and the love story is totally unbelievable. The only thing slightly believable was the small sample of the life of poverty-stricken people on the streets, but even that was sugar-coated. I got frustrated and bored with it, which is why it's on the list for swapping.
