Belong to Me by Marisa de los Santos

3.0

I was worried when I started reading this, because it seemed a bit too much like "fluff" or "chick lit," but it really turned out to be a lovely book. Her writing is lyrical and she uses some of the most beautiful and visual metaphors I've ever encountered. Her characters - even the ones you're not supposed to "like" - end up likable because they're so multidimensional and realistically drawn. This is a nice, fast, entertaining, feel good read without being too fluffy or overly sentimental.

I had no idea this was tied to her first book (Love Walked In) but now that I know that, I will make a point to pick it up and give it a whirl.
