This Time It's Real

I'm really sad, because I really wanted to enjoy this considering it's my first Ann Liang book (an author I've heard nothing but great things about). Unfortunately, this didn't start clicking with me until around the 70-80% mark, and I believe the reasoning to be in part the writing style, and in part that this felt more like contemporary fiction than contemporary romance— which I was not expecting. I still want to give Liang's other books a try though, as their synopses all sound very intriguing.
