It's weird but I felt like Dusty had more layers than Rue.<br /><br />I DEFINITELY wanted more of Alice toward the end of the book. I felt like the family aspect overshadowed the romance so I ended up wanting it to be even more about the family. I was just kind of meh about the romance so when that did take center stage the story started feeling lukewarm.Laddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670687612640691963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797570043197026689.post-16782863955996930702012-05-07T14:57:50.363-04:002012-05-07T14:57:50.363-04:00Totally. The writing was good and like you said, ...Totally. The writing was good and like you said, the making a unique family aspect of this was the most beautiful part, but this one didn't grab me either. I actually found myself stalling quite a bit in the middle parts, between the end of Dusty's terrible relationship and the point of jealousy for Erik, which was about 40% where not a whole lot happened and I felt like it dragged. Other than that, I liked it. Dusty was my favorite character in all, though I loved Erik so much. But yeah, Dusty just had something. I felt like maybe he and Rue were kinda the same character at first, then slowly Dusty drifted away into his own character, with a dash of vulnerability that Rue didn't have, and that make me love him so much. So yeah, I'll definitely read his book if there comes one.<br /><br />Oh yeah, and so much of the beginning was about Alice and then it was almost like she disappeared! She was there but I wish they had incorporated her a bit more, especially since it takes place over 6 months or so...Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02277201083316005835noreply@blogger.com
