Well as a guy I notice that mostly only woman are commenting and reading this book, but that is okay because as a fan of the written word I read all genres, and I'm adamantly againt such stereotypes of what a man or woman is suppose toi act like. just an observation... though to be honest this book isnt very good, Emma is such a weak character, and I get it, what Sophie tried to do with her but ultimately it's not working out too well. On the other hand I'm not quite finished with it, though I am over halfway done. My final opinion is up in the air. We'll see though. I can say it's better than anything stephnie meyer has written. But that's not saying much.
