Review: Lions in the Garden

Lions in the Garden by Chelsea Luna
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Gosh I don't know. I'm really torn about this book! I liked it buuuuuut... It's instalove. Like Romeo and Juliet kind of instalove, and they're star crossed lovers, and it was just a little to... corny maybe? I don't know, this paragraph really says it all,“Whatever ideas you have about me and—what did you call it? my long list of women?—aren’t true. I’ve been with Zora and a few others in the past. I’m nineteen, what do you expect? But nothing I shared with any of them compares to how I feel about you.” at this point they have known each other for approximately a week-ish.

Not to mention the love square that goes something like this, Ruzena is in love with Marc, but Marc's in love with Mila, and Radek thinks he's in love with Mila but she's in love with Marc (Sigh). Anyway even with all that, it was still pretty adorable, nearly everything about it reminded me of a Disney movie, seriously they met when he saves her in the woods, and then when she's in trouble he races after her like a knight in shining armor, you know come to think of it it's kind of like that movie Enchanted. But I guess I'm just disappointed, I wanted it to blow me away and it didn't. :-(
