Loved this book!
Loved Tiffanie's writing, her character development, the back story, the dialogue between the characters. Read like a screenplay and totally believable.
Artsy Beatrice is told when she is 12 yrs old by a psychic that her true love will die young.
She meets writer Jacob through the personals, they click, and have a wonderful relationship, and then.....
Can't wait to read more by Tiffanie, this book really stayed with me! ( )

One of my absolute favorite books. DeBartolo writes so emotionally that it makes the characters seem so close to you. This is a story which 3 years later still has an emotional response from me. ( )

This book begins as a cheesy romance. Two characters fall in love and I loved reading about their happiness. There is a plot somewhere, things happen, but now that I have finished the book, I realize it isn't as much about the plot or the love between the two characters but about Beatrice. The main character, Beatrice, who is unhappy when we first meet her gradual becomes someone who will be able to be happy. Beatrice and her life become entirely different by the end of the book.

Her life, and what she learns about herself and her family, is only helped and reflected in Jacob's life.

I couldn't put this book down, I wanted to find out more about Beatrice and Jacob, the funny interactions they had, and what would happen to them. I feel in love with them, which made me angry, happy and sad.

Although I enjoyed this novel, I recommend reading How to Kill a Rockstar by DeBartolo over reading this one. Both books have great characters, but I overall enjoyed her other book just a little more- the last 50 some pages of this book were what really made me prefer the other book. ( )

Through the first quarter of the book I was in love with every aspect of this book. I completely identified with the main character Beatrice, and even though Jacob seemed WAY too good to be true, I still loved their relationship and didn't think the whole thing too sweet. It seemed to work. Where I started having a hard time with the book is when Beatrice first gets mad at Jacob for meeting up with a new girlfriend. It seemed WAY overboard. After that the characters started to annoy me. Then Jacob's weird moodiness...I know book characters aren't supposed to be perfect, but something seemed off to me as a reader. I guess I couldn't fully understand the characters and I didnt find the writing to be in such a way where the reader shouldn't understand...I just felt a disconnect. I think because I fell so in love with the chracters in the beginning then quickly found them annoying I couldn't completely fall in love with this book. I also didnt find the ending as sad as it probably should have been for me. I do give the author credit for excellent writing and story telling. As far as writing I was pleased with this book. Something just happened in the middle to throw me off from completely loving it. ( )

Not a bad way to pass a power outtage! Probably the best, most moving, utterly fantastic book I've read in some time. I enjoy most of the books I read, but this book went beyond enjoyment . . . There were times when I would have to stop reading, close the book, and just pause to reflect on my emotions. Yes, it was that good. I was in love with Jacob from the beginning and I cried like the emotional wreck of girl that I am at the end. And I loved every second of it. ( )

I thought this book was tedious. The behavior on both the lovers parts was very "junior high." I would not recommend it.
