Goodreads Synopsis:
Some loves are not made to
last . . . Like Romeo and Juliet, Heloise and Abelard were doomed from the
start, and their romance was destined to pass into history. Yet when
sixteen-year-old Callie Martin discovers a diary hidden within an antique book,
their story - and hers - takes on another life. For the diary leads Callie to
the brilliant and handsome August, who is just as mysterious as the secret the
diary hides. Their attraction is undeniable. As the two hunt down the truth
behind the diary - and that of Heloise and Abelard's ancient romance - their
romance becomes all-consuming. But Callie knows it can't last . . . love never
does. Will their love that burns as bright as a shooting star flame out, or
will these star-crossed lovers be able to defy history?
My Review:
There is
noting I love more than a LOVE story, but this book was not it for me. I picked
it up thinking it would be an epic love story plus the interesting plot had
caught my attention, however I was very disappointed. I liked Callie up until
she met August. After meeting August Callie went from a cute, smart, book
loving girl to a sappy annoying teen who couldn't stop talking about how sexy
August was. I mean we get it he's hot, but there must be other qualities about
him that you are attracted too?!
I liked how the plot
contained lots of mystery and adventure, but in my opinion it just wasn't enough
to keep me entertained. The theme of Abelard, Heloise and Astrolab gave the
book some romance, but it felt like everything was happening out of nothing. The
idea was good, but the execution was a fail. Overall, it was just an egh type
of book. Definitely not the best.
