This book is not at all what I thought it would be. I expected a cosy romantic fantasy, but this book is deeper, emotional and sometimes confusing. It's like the movie Inception but with books. It will surprise you when you get to the "midpoint". I didn't like the instalove, but it will make sense past the 75% mark of the story. This book is an homage to literature and the power of books. I do recommend it, I just couldn't warm up to the characters.
