My Stance:
Stephanie Perkins just frankly stole me completely with Anna and the French Kiss. The book had a romance that I have been looking for in a book for a long long while and while there was something that drew me to their characters. So when I found that there was more to the universe I couldn't help but stuff all of them on my shelves. The universe is so great and while I am sure it's not the best around in terms of romance, but it's by far some of the best that I've seen in a long time.
This book just sounds like the exact opposite of the romances that I normally get. I get the feeling it's more about loss and moving on than about the romance and everything. Isla and Josh seem great and all, but if I remember right, from Anna and the French Kiss they didn't always see eye to eye, and that's what makes the book that more interesting to read about. I am curious to see how Stephanie handles loss and pain in this case.
