Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book. Where do I even start? I read this because my book club picked it. It is probably not something I would have chosen on my own. That being said, I gave it a chance, and thought it started okay. Then I started noticing things. First, why the shifting points of view? Lizzy and Ren tell their story in first person, Ty is inexplicably in second person, and Kylie is in third person. Why? It was really distracting to me. Second, way too much explanation of each character's movements. "He gets up ... walks to his left around the table ... lifts his arm at a 52 degree angle, stares hungrily into my eyes with his electric blue eyes ..." blah blah blah ... zzzzzz ... Third, what is with the ridiculous kidnaping of the daughter? It barely fits with the plot. There had to be some way to get Ty and Lizzy home from Italy that was not completely contrived. By the end of the book I was going to lose it if one more character "raked his hand" through his hair. Seriously. Overall, I teach high school kids who are stronger writers than this. Save your money.
