Ever read a book, you predicted what exactly the plot was and how it's going to end and still finished it?! I rarely did it, but sometimes, even though I knew roughly what's going to happen next, I still wanted to read it. "Ends of the Earth" is one of those books. And for that reason; I was too confused to rate this book.

This book's Genre is Romance. It’s a third -person narrative. It's not appropriate for young adult readers due to sexual content. I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars.

Lauren was born in Australia and lived there for ten years. She used to live in a farm with her parents and grandparents. She had a wonderful childhood till everything came crashing at once. Her grandmother died; her father had a huge clash with her grandfather and consequently he moved with his wife and daughter to the states. She never saw her grandfather again.

So knowing from a lawyer that her grandfather had died and chose to leave her all his money along with his precious farm, was beyond peculiar to her. Since her father was the proper heir; she didn’t understand why she is the one who gets to inherit everything. But what truly stood out as weird to her was that in his will, she has to live fully on his farm for four months. Why? She'll have to go and find out, won't she?

Family was the prominent theme is this book, along with change and taking chances. I received the message as "taking chances." Both are classics, and they flowed nicely in the story. I like the originals, They never fail to deliver and remind you what life is all about and what's important to keep in it.

I honestly don’t know how to describe this book other than cute and sweet. I think this book would perfectly fall under the category of a charming summer read, nothing more, and nothing less. As I mentioned earlier, right from the very first page I knew where this story was going and how it's going to end, and yet I still finished it AND surprisingly enough, still enjoyed it. Even though I predicted the plot, I still found it interesting and smiled a lot. that was the main reason I gave it three not two stars.

Sometimes I call books a summer read because they are short, and they are certainly drama free. This book is exactly that. I like drama, intensity, suspense and strong, clear emotions in books to make the reading experience memorable. But every once in a while reading a book free of all those things could be refreshing. But if it's too plain, then it could be easily forgotten. This book isn’t too plain; it had in the end a small bit of suspense.

What's more, it had good dialogues, or banter as it's called, and I enjoyed them. I liked that because its drama free; the heroine felt normal with her baggage that wasn’t too heavy, too theatrical and too improbable, that She really felt very much like my neighbor or my sister.

Unfortunately, this book had a downside. There were lots of spelling and grammatical errors, but not too much to cause disruption in the flow of reading. Also, there were some repeated sentences. In addition to that, it lacked serious amount of important flashback scenes for the heroine that could have given her more depth and connection to the reader. I advise the author to situate more flashbacks for all characters involved, to complete the sense of the family bond they all shared.

But even with that downside, I still enjoyed that book and considered it as a reminder for me to take care of my family and always find a way to solve our differences before it's too late. finally, I admired the author's writing pace and her writing style, both were good, but I believe she has the full potential to make them both great, and create a remarkable read. I look forward to reading from her again.
