I really wanted to love this book but I just couldn't, quite disappointing as I was hoping this would be a new favourite and stand out among the average books I've read lately. I heard of the swoon-worthy Patch and was delighted to be introduced to a possible new book-boyfriend, but then when I started reading.I realised my expectations were too high.
