My Review
I gave this book a 3.5/5 star rating, however I rounded it to 3 stars one good reads and on here since you can't give half stars. I thought this book was a nice story, and I did enjoy it. But, it did not completely blow me away which is why I gave it only 3.5. In my opinion the story was a little slow, and I wasn't always completely pulled into the story. It wasn't a story that made me want to keep reading or think about it when I had to leave it. Not to say that I didn't enjoy this book, I would still recommend this book to someone looking for an easy, don't have to think too much love story.

2017 has flown by, but not without leaving behind some really awesome books. This year as a whole has been a more challenging one for me, but I did read a few books that have stuck with me along the way. In case you want to check them out yourself, I will have each one linked to where you can buy them! Here is my list of books that have stayed with me and left an impression this year: A List of Cages by Robin Roe Amazon I loved this book so much! I borrowed this book from the library, and I so wish I could have kept it! I gave this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
