I'm Thalia! I run a book blog called Pictures in the Words and I hope to be an editor for YA fiction. I'm a GoodReads refugee!
Well, I still like it, but there are... well, there are "buts" about that.
I don't really like the immense tie in to the artist Ella is obsessed with, Edward Willing. I just don't get the appeal of him. I mean, we just spent a chapter dedicated to reading random papers in the elusive Willing archive. I just don't get the point. Ella talks to his picture, obsesses over details about him--there's even excerpts from his letters to his wife strewn throughout the narration. And Alex is basically a blip on the map right now, which doesn't really leave me a lot of time to cheer the two of them on as a main couple. Just...more chick lit, less random art references?
