    This is the pinnacle of contemporary romance novels this year, a sweet, angsty, and intellectually stimulating read. After reading it, I couldn't get into anything else. The author's literary background is profound, far surpassing that of novice authors. The writing is divine, incredibly delicate. The male lead's love is passionate, but not mindless. Every main and supporting character is outstanding and indispensable. Suitable for discerning, seasoned readers; a unique and extreme emotional rollercoaster, not clichéd. The pacing is steady, starting slowly but building up to a sweeter, more intense feeling as you read. It has a grand scope, leaving you with much to ponder. The plot takes off after chapter ten. Trust me, you'll come back and thank me after you finish reading.
