Also they took so easily the thing with the soul mates – I don’t know, I just didn’t buy it, I needed some more development on that side for me to believe it. Yes, he was nicer than most of the other YA ‘ignorers’, but not nice enough for me to like him. So, I liked the legend between the necklace, that was quite an interesting and sweet story, and I liked Emma’s voice – she was funny and nice to be around (even in her head).Īlso Emma and Brendan were cute together, but all the “I ignore you because I like you” act is getting so damn old. I keep trying, and trying, and I fell that I get to nowhere. The premise for this one was really, really good – I like the idea of soul-mates and I am always looking for a good romance based on this, but I don’t know why I never seem to like these stories as much as I want. My eyes rolling so far back in my head I could practically see my own brain.”
Ages 14 up.“I sat there, bored, my head propped up by my hand, The relationship gets rather gooey, and the second half of the story falters until the dramatic climax, but readers should still be swept along by the protagonists' faith in true love. As Emma puts the puzzle pieces together, she learns time is running out for two souls stuck in a "never-ending cycle of reunion, romance, and then tragedy." Shultz's characters have great chemistry and snappy dialogue, and the author captures the tantalizing energy of a new romance and the ugliness of teen jealousy. Yummy Brendan Salinger comes to her rescue, and they instantly click, but strange things start happening: streetlights blow out when Emma's nearby, and she's receiving warnings from her deceased twin brother in her dreams. For 16-year-old Emma Connor, leaving her alcoholic stepfather (and family tragedies) to live with her great-aunt in New York City is a relief, but Emma's hopes of flying under the radar at her exclusive new private school are dashed when she becomes the target of snobby mean girls and a skeevy lothario. Shultz's debut is an absorbing romantic tale of curses and the power of love.
