I think I might be done with Wiggs. Her books are just too similar to one another. The storyline is all the same. Usually it's about how opposites attract (opposites due to social circumstances or popularity) and revisiting lost love. I've read the books that come after this one so I was quite excited to read about Jenny and Roarke. They seemed really intriguing but was sorely disappointed. Be warned there are spoilers in this review.

Basically you have Jane / George / Charles's Belamy's story redone in the form of Jenny / Roarke / Joe. The plotline of Joe supposedly dying but didn't was rehashed in Daisy / Julian / Logan's storyline. The list goes on. Usually Wiggs create some awesome characters though that keeps me reading but not in this case. Jenny, was actually pretty cool, but she was so hessitant about everything. Roarke was just wooden and such an idiot and I don't think he ever really dealt with the problems that made him such an idiot.

So I gave this one such a low rating because if you have read other books by Wiggs, it's like all her other stories. If you haven't, then you might like this one.
