I'm intrigued by Scarlett's character with her unique perspective on seeing the world. This story about a forbidden romance because of religious barrier and emotional trauma sounds very interesting. Also the magical and fairytale elements of this book give more charm and wonderfull reading experience. Young readers who like romance fantasy would love this book. Thank you for an insightful and amazing review.

I loved "The Notebook" of Nicholas Sparks so I will definitely read this. Also, you got me hooked up when you mentioned that the author incorporated a bit of Greek Mythology in this romance novel... Scarlet and Cy, wait for me to unravel the struggles of your forbidden love for each other. Thank you for your great review, will surely add this book on my shelf.

A young adult novel that follows the story of a young girl's coming of age and the trials that she will face upon falling inlove with a boy outside her Mormon community. The references to Greek Mythology is an interesting addition to this sweet novel. Congrats on BOTD!

Thank you for an excellent review. As newcomer to this game, I learned a lot from you. Romance is not my cup of tea. I want sub plots and lots of surprises. I will not read this book.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting young adult romance novel about a young woman whose childhood lead to her rule about abstaining from having a boyfriend, however when she develops feelings for her next door neighbor, that rule might be broken. The only issue is that her neighbor is a Mormon and his beliefs prevent him from having a relationship with her. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

This book seems to have several unique aspects that make it a worthwhile novel for teens. I especially like that Scarlett sees the world around her in terms of Greek mythology and science. I also enjoyed reading your review!

Scarlett seems to be in a tough emotional turmoil as all roads look to lead her falling in love with Cy. I'm in suspense as to how it would all play out. Interesting review.

I think I'd like this book because in the discourse on Scarlett's personality it mentions greek mythology and I happen to enjoy them. Thanks for the amazing review.

The book prickled my interest since it's synposised around a growing young girl and a love life. Sometimes we need to read more of this book to be able to relate with some of the young minds we mentor. Knowing her father is not perfect in choices he had made in his marriage is enough reason for a little rebellion in Scarlett's heart. It is an interesting story and a great piece of work.

After reading the first page I'm very interested in how and the direction of this book. I remember being a senior in high school and having senioritis. Man, good times and bad times.
