Beyond The Garden by Sandra Lopez

3 out of 5 stars 

I was asked to review this book by the author. In exchange for an honest review I was given a copy of this. 

This was a sweet story and a very good idea; but sadly there wasn't much that drew me into it. I really really wanted to like this book but sadly I didn't.

I didn't like the main character which makes it really hard to actually like the book. I found her to be negative and honestly a bit two-dimensional. Putting all that aside I just felt like there was too much talking going on here. It really didn't hold my interest and I found myself getting more and more excited the closer I got to being done this. 

But, I did like the idea of this story. I loved the idea of seeing a Latin character, I love college romances and I love hot mechanics! 

Sadly, this story just wasn't delivered in a way that I could sink my teeth into, I wasn't invested in the characters and I didn't really care about their failures or their successes. However a lot of other people seem to enjoy it so maybe its just me? Either way I felt that I could only give this a 3 star review.
