I can't decide whether I liked it or not

At some points I liked this book. At some points I hated it. There were definitely some heartwarming parts that made me keep reading but Lily's constant exclamations of "Crumpets!" drove me a little nuts. Characters had sudden epiphanies and changes of heart that seemed incredibly unrealistic, more gradual changes would have been more believable. Overall an OK book, but not spectacular.

Wanted to like it. But I do not. Does anyone really like it?

I finished it.  And only because it was a prizing winning novel.  I didn't like the characters.  I didn't like the drug filled lives.  I didn't like their whiny nature.  Would I read it again? No.

It lumbered until about 2/3 of the way into the book.  Finally, toward the later part of the book, I was able to sustain reading it for longer periods of time.  Basically I can say I read it.

When I was finished, I couldn't tell if I liked the book or not. Too be honest it's hard not to get a bit lost in the long periods of mental rambling, but I guess that's the point after all. I'm glad I have read it though.

I'm completely torn as to whether I loved, or was just completely annoyed by, this book. A little of both, so here's three stars.

It was ok. I don't feel like I wasted my time. Didn't love it but I liked it.

I really wanted to like it more than I did.  Every so often I end up picking a book on it's cover, and I generally am disappointed when I do.  I liked the book fine, there were parts that it moved so slowly and then other times it seemed very pressured.  For me there wasn't a very fluid feeling and some parts were disjointed.  I'm giving it 4 stars because I did like it but there's no love there for me, and I'm wishing I'd just waited for the paperback.

Sometimes I like a book I've read; sometimes I like one more than other; sometimes I really like a book. Sometimes I dislike them. Perhaps I was just stupid the day I read this bok. This is the first book I've ever read that when it was finished, I had no idea what it was about, or why the author wrote it, or what she wanted me to know. Or was she just putting some things together that only she would understand? The book consisted of a few incidents. What were they trying to say? Rating the book, required, was difficult. I didn't hate it because it wasn't worth hating and I didn't know what was going on. So, I settled for "I don't like it."

Didn't enjoy it all that much. I didn't get what all the fuss was about. It was too long. I don't know.

I'm not really sure that I liked this book. It did keep me reading until the end, if only to find out what the end was going to be. I did figure out the "why" fairly early on in the story so the ending was not a surprise to me. This is not a book I'll read again though, unlike my favorites which I'll read over and over. This was more like a chore...not all that bad but you're still glad when it's over. I honestly can't say whether or not I recommend this book. Some readers may very well like this type of story. For me, it was just...meh.

I don't know how to review this book, I really dont. There were parts of it I enjoyed, but there was also a lot that made me scratch my head. Overall I just don't think I got it. I just don't get where the story was going or if there was even a point. Like I enjoyed reading along with Colin and Lucy, but Im not entirely sure what I was supposed to get from the story and I have a lot of questions still. Being that this is a standalone, I don't think I should still have as many questions as I do.

Colin and Lucy together are really quite sweet. It is a very good forbidden romance and I eat those up. But with that being said, I didn't feel an overwhelming connection to either Lucy or Colin. Frankly, I thought Colin was a real idiot at times and I wanted to strangle him. I liked him and I liked Lucy but I cant say I loved either one.

The world within Sublime is pretty interesting. It is creepy and a bit dark. There are ghosts all over the boarding school and clearly something has brought them there, but what? I still don't know. I read the whole book, I think I deserve to know whys and hows of the situation. I feel like there was so much potential here. The authors could have expanded so much on what was going on and why all this creepy stuff happened and why ghosts were coming back, but they didn't and this was my biggest issue. I felt like I kept getting questions thrown at me but never any answers. I felt like the story didn't have a real purpose and things just happened with no real end goal. Speaking of end maybe Im an idiot, but I just didn't get it. Like at all. Im confused.

Sublime was a read I was really looking forward to. The cover was so pretty and it sounded like such a good romantic and creepy story. Unfortunately it fell a bit short for me. I liked it and I don't regret reading it, but I was hoping for more.

This book is, I don't know it gives me mixed feelings. Some parts of me just really enjoys the book and other parts of me is like meh. The story is very interesting and well written. But it feels like something is missing but I cant really say what it is.

The cover is beautiful and do represent the story in some aspect but not in others. This story is a bit different, but that is in a good way. I enjoyed it but I think that due to everything going on around me made me not really appriciate this book as much as I had hoped. The book was a quick easy read. I wish I could tell what I feel is missing but when I don't know myself its hard. I just know I got the feeling that something was missing.

I would recommend for others to read this book because it isn't a bad book or a badly written story, it is just not a book that cought me which is strange due to my love of dogs and animals. The book is worth reading.

Actual Rating: 2.5

I am conflicted about how I feel about this book. On the one hand, I really enjoyed feeling the confusion and loss that our MC feels in the beginning. I liked the descriptive setting. (view spoiler) I could see images of the setting clearly in my head. On the other hand, I disliked the majority of the characters. As the plot continued on I understood why they were that way, but I still did not like them. I think the only character I didn't mind was Spingate. I also felt we had to wait so long to figure anything out. Almost 80% of the book passes before we get any knowledge as to who, what, when, where, and why. So while I enjoyed the confusion at first, I felt frustrated that there was no concrete evidence to direct the ideas forming in my head. For me, there was just not enough development and action.
