My book review

I know I was supposed to write a book review a loong time ago,(better late them never right?hehe) I kept postponing it because I didn`t really love the ending, and I didn`t love how most of the story turned out either, I liked it, just didn`t completely loved it. So, I was afraid I would spoil everything, or give people the wrong impression of this book.

Let me start by saying that it`s a really good book, I just thought the story was going to be at least 90% different than it turned out to be. But that`s just me, like I said in the last post, I practically grew up with these characters, so I would think I knew a little bit about them.
Turns out there`s more to them than I realized, in fact I couldn`t really recognize them in most parts, they seemed like different people, maybe that`s how they`re supposed to seem anyway, since they`re growing up and persuing their carrers and marriages, and things like that.

This book gave me all sort of emotions, and I really mean that, it made me feel happy, very happy, sad, angry, in disbelief, in denial, in complete disbelief to some of the things I was reading...haha Every part made me feel a different way.

But that`s good I think, it certainly made the book very memorable to me, I`m sure I`ll read it again, slower this time, trying to appreciate the story a little more, and then I`m sure the new storyline will grow on me for good....hehe

Robin is a terrific writer and I`ll always love her and her books, even if they don`t turn out the way I expected. I definetely recommend this book, and all of Robin`s books, especially the Christy Series, who have a special place in my heart.

I can`t wait to see if Robin is ever writing about these characters again, I don`t know, but I sure hope so. Even if she comes up with some crazy story for them, after this book, I`m ready to read anything.
