I'm glad you still managed to find it enjoyable for the most part - despite things being a bit too easy at times.

But I do not love that it seemed a bit easy and unrealistic, that can be a HUGE deal breaker for me. Though, a fun and easy read is also nice too- and if I like the book enough, I can overlook those things sometimes. Especially if there is a ship to be shipped hahha. Great review, glad that it was mostly enjoyable!

It sounds like it was pretty good, though. Sure, it will never compare to The Long Way but that book was pretty amazing, it sets a very high bar. I mean, I often think that books seem to make things a bit too easy for the characters, but most of the time I'm enjoying the book too much to care. If that and a few underdeveloped characters are your biggest complaint then I'm pretty certain this will be a very enjoyable read for me.

Lots of things that make me a happy reader. I think actually one of my other blogging friends specifically recommended this one to me because it seemed so much my kind of book. I have not yet read a A Long Way... and I think based on your initial comments, I'll read this first so there's no chance of letdown,lol!Rudejasperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262824398753157757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-67770907299693702582017-01-06T12:20:54.310-08:002017-01-06T12:20:54.310-08:00It's always a bit tricky when you end up compa...It's always a bit tricky when you end up comparing a book to another you recently read. I actually just ordered this book as I think I will enjoy it. Kristin also pointed out their relationship developed in a realistic way and I will keep that in mind when I start reading it as I am usually not a fan of those enemies to lover type of relationships. And that's good to know that Norah becomes more likeable. Too bad things got a bit too easy at times, but overall it does sound like a good read.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284689418552571180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-195270623019590602017-01-06T04:27:02.481-08:002017-01-06T04:27:02.481-08:00This isn't my normal genre so I am not sure - ...This isn't my normal genre so I am not sure - especially since I have A Long Way to a Small Planet I want to get to.
