Ratings and reviews

I am on the fence about this book. This is my first read from this author so I wasn't really sure what to expect. On the one hand I loved the ending and how twisted up in lies these two really were. I wasn't a fan of Daisy as she was rude, judgmental and far too passive aggressive for my taste. Simon had issues yes but for some reason he worshiped her stanky drawers when the author shows us no reason for these deep feelings she clearly doesn't return. Maybe just maybe it's not about liking the characters but just focusing on the story. For me that too became an issue because I personally appreciate a story that moves faster, the pace may not have been an issue for most but like I mentioned it is my own thing. For that alone I did finish the book and while I did skim I have to admit I didn't see the ending coming AT ALL. This isn't a bad book as you can see my comments are about the characters and my personal preferred writing style. This author writes a compelling story that once the lies are revealed will truly leaved you floored. I will try her books again because from the reviews I read I won't be disappointed.
