And then all of a sudden she starts dating Devon? Then she fades out of Ellie's life for a large chunk of the book for no real reason other than she was upset at her for keeping a secret? I wanted so much more! Also, don't get me started on Ellie's relationship with her father. For example, Quinn being mistaken for Ellie? I was so excited to read that! I thought it would be hilarious them going out on several dates or having their pictures taken together by the paparazzi and a weird love-triangle thing happening, but this problem was solved within about 10 pages. All of the plot twists which I was expecting, solved themselves quite easily or were super anticlimactic. There really wasn't a plot driving the story forwards and I didn't feel any chemistry between Ellie and Graham. I really enjoyed the first third of it and was getting invested in the characters and plot, but then it just fizzled out. Smith's writing in general is for me as I didn't enjoy The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight either (although I did like it more than this one).ĭon't get me wrong, I didn't hate TIWHLL. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't think Jennifer E.

While the meaning of the name of these falls is a mystery, the term bittersweet likely refers to either the low volume of water often seen here, or is indicative of potential agricultural runoff from nearby farmlands. In low-water conditions, a thin ribbon of water is seen falling among a wall of moss on only one side. Although highly seasonal, Beaver Brook takes the stage during the spring with a tumbling two-sided plunge, each side dropping 18-to-20 feet.
