It did get good again in the end though. I find with books like this I really need to be ready to invest in them. It'll take longer and I may need to throw in a YA contemp to break things up but if I like it I will invest the time. Sometimes I don't want to invest the time and that's when I DNF. No shame in that. I hope you end up liking it Jillian.My Thoughts....

Those are things I don't miss about college. <br /><br />I totally agree it is beautiful and extremely well-written but that lyrical style definitely translates better into print over audio. I'm learning that character-driven stories like this just don't work as audiobooks for me. My Thoughts....

I have to give it another try and won't give up until I find the very thing all readers have found here. I love historical fiction, and especially the premise of the novel too. We will see. I'm glad you loved it though!Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629286727932554109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158143373242218557.post-35153983479054739432015-04-30T13:33:49.979-04:002015-04-30T13:33:49.979-04:00I'm almost finished with this right now, and I...I'm almost finished with this right now, and I completely agree -- I think it's BEAUTIFUL. ♥ I have a print copy and I think (in my bias) it's the sort of book I wouldn't necessarily like to experience as an audiobook, because there is that literary style that seems to translate better in print. It's taking me a bit longer to read than I'd like because of all the business that comes with winding down in a college semester, but I'm also glad I get to move slow and appreciate it.<br /><br />Great review!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268968188566984912noreply@blogger.com
