That being said, this is still a perfectly acceptable fluff book. Such a hurried 'perfect' solution, where nobody actually sacrifices/pays/learns anything screams of an impending deadline set by the publisher. But oh! Wait, there's this new magical treatment that can help an end-stage cancer patient and has a super high success rate! What mystical witchcraft is this? It's true, but it's expensive and will cost 'hundreds of thousands of dollars'. Second round of chemo, he collapses, the doctor's say it's only a matter of time. If her identity was such a secret, how did Paul know she was rich in the first chapter? 'not one of us' and all that?Īlso, Matt has cancer. With the amount of worrying she does about people finding out about her true identity, I thought her dad was in the mafia or something.

Endangering yourself when you have every opportunity to plan ahead and NOT put your safety at risk is stupid. If she's defiantly trying to prove to her family that she isn't stupid and that she's responsible enough to make her own decisions, this isn't exactly going to help her case. why not plan your escape more carefully? Withdraw enough money to keep you afloat, keep in with you in cash, that would still be untraceable to her father, but at least she'd be safe.

I also don't get why she didn't just get a job at McDonalds or something and rent somewhere.why this absolute shutdown? Either I go to Juilliard or I'm homeless? There's no middle ground? Also she's a rich kid with her own trust fund etc. She mentioned that she's been away from home for 'so long now' that she couldn't imagine going back? Imagine my surprise when her mother says it's been 6 months.that isn't a 'long time' for a 19 year old to have run away for. He hauls you over his shoulder, your response? Well I may as well just hang here like a sack of potatoes because he's deaf and wouldn't hear my protests. Ok, you're homeless, you're scared of going home with this guy because you don't know what he expects in return. Kit annoyed the hell out of me, she was such a drama queen/martyr. So many annoying eye-roll moments, unrealistic plot points and magical solutions to unsolvable problems. The buildup was enjoyable, but the ending was very underwhelming. This book had the most anti-climactic, sudden ending I've ever seen.
