Ohh boy, where to begin? A friend recommended this book to me (if you are reading this, I'm sorry) and that is the only reason I actually finished this thing.

First of all, I get that "Significant" is the title of the book, but there was really no need to sneak that word into the plot every couple of pages. It seemed forced and unnatural and it made me wonder if the author is familiar with synonyms. 

Secondly, I don't wanna sound rude but the author writes so much about sex that I wonder if she needs to get laid or watch porn or if she just really likes sexual plot-lines. I would let that one slide, except that the sex was basically the only "exciting" thing in this book and without all of the sexual encounters between the main characters we would be left with roughly 50 pages. Honestly, I just started scheming through them thinking that if I wanted to watch porn rather than reading a book, I would.

Lastly, the characters. Jesus Christ. I did not think they were likeable or believable at all and they both had the exact same feeling and personalities. The book was divided into chapters alternating from Elle and Aaron's point of view and the two of them were so similar that sometimes I didn't even know whose chapter I was reading. It was so unbelievable that while reading I did not picture the characters, but the author sitting down writing the book. 

Overall, it was predictable and full of unnecessary analogies attempting to describe how the characters felt about each other. To me, it just fell flat and it was a real chore to finish reading this.


Edit: as a French speaker, don't even get me started with Aaron's annoying "ma belle."
Okay I am done now, thank you.
