When I read the first paragraph of your review, I knew I had to add this to my TBR instantly. Her boyfriend kills himself in front of her? So interesting! However, by the end of your review, I can see why you couldn't relate to Emily and you're right, books that deal so deeply with emotions are better off in the first person's point of view. I want to give this one a try but let's see how it goes. Beautiful review, Tanja! <br /><br />Sarika @ <a href="http://thereaddicts.blogspot.in/" rel="nofollow">The Readdicts</a>The Readdictshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05097650583426983309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-90419466373964077732014-01-25T10:50:30.917+01:002014-01-25T10:50:30.917+01:00Totally agreed!
