What’s that? It’s when the hero falls in love with the heroine because she’s “not like other girls” but we get no specifics as to what that means. This book suffered from Special Snowflake Syndrome. He sees Natalie in town later that day and takes her to lunch and spends the rest of the book relentlessly pursuing her. Okay, so the book is told first person POV from Natalie’s point of view (in present tense I might add-another “Oh, fuck”), but I’m able to infer that Luke is surprised Natalie has no idea who he is. Good for her, but in my experience, nothing good has come from Twilight except this blog. Look, I wasn’t about to put the book down because the author may have been inspired by R-Patz. You see Luke is messy-haired, gorgeous star of a series of vampire movies that are super popular and …aw fuck, this is Robert Pattinson fan fic, isn’t it? My context clues tell me it is.
Natalie thinks this guy is a nutbag and is all “WTF.” When Luke realizes Natalie wasn’t photographing him, but rather the beach, he’s duly apologetic. This guy, Luke, who happens to be caught in one of her shots, comes up to her cursing and demanding she give him her camera. The book opens with Natalie Conner taking pictures on the beach at dawn. My chief complaints? The pacing is off, I’m still not sure what the conflict, if there is one, is, the hero is kind of a douche, and the writing just killed it for me. I made it to the midway point, then gave up entirely. I was still riding the New Adult-normal-girl-dates-celebrity-vibe when I picked up Kristin Proby’s Come Away with Me but literally nothing about this book worked for me. So I think, for me, a DNF grade is actually the worst you can get. My OCD tendencies mean I like to finish everything I start, even if the book is awful.
