My Stance:
So I was looking for a book to present this week, I didn't have anything ready and had to dig for a book. It took me a few hours of searching, mainly cause I was searching through a lot of books that I have already, and I don't want to feature something I have, but a book that I'm looking to get myself. When I saw this book, it was a quick decision. I knew this book was just destined to show up here. The cover to me is all girly and maybe just isn't something I would normally pick up and I have seen it around but didn't really give it the time of day.
I will admit I never read the whole synopsis, and I should have. The reviews have been rather good, least from what I saw. I love how the story just exploded, it looks great and I love how it sounds. Harper is one of the few female characters that, ahead of time, I'm looking forward to reading. The romance in this book is something that's a bit unexpected, and I love that the most. It shows just how much a good or decent relationship just comes out of nowhere, it's that sort of thing I look for in a book. Some sort of reality or realism in the whole thing that brings it down to earth. This book has it, and I hope it contains it.
