Review # 1 was written on 2011-10-16 00:00:00 Carnez Williams Okay: I have been gypped! I went through the final chapters twice to make sure that I didn�t just speedread through the proposal but it was well and truly missing. Perhaps it was meant to be understood that the hero loved the girl. After all, that was the reason he sent her back home to Edmonton, Canada two years ago even after declaring that he loved her. He had said that he was giving her time to decide whether she really liked to uproot herself and live with him in Tasmania, Australia. Perhaps it was meant to be understood after they have unwrapped their �bodily gifts� on Christmas Eve; their night together was their reciprocal presents. After that, the word �present� seemed to become a code word between them for making love. But ultimately in the end, he never once stated what he wanted or expected of her at the end of their trip. As if everything about their future relationship was simply matter-of-fact understood between the two of them. It was even the stepmom who broke the news to the girl that he loved her and intended to marry her. But he never broached the topic himself . He never proclaimed his love for her at the end; how he missed her when she was gone; how he contrived this trip to win her back. Zilch. The book just ending with more gift-unwrapping. I sometimes wonder if the author forgot about this significant detail with all the fuss about the setting of the story: West Edmonton Mall. This book read like a travel promotional ad for the many attractions offered by the mall. Seriously. Like, every feature was mentioned: Fantasy Dining Room, Waterpark, skatepark, numerous food restaurants, 19 movie theaters, hotel with themed rooms, parking lot�. So... Attention, shoppers: Clean up needed on Aisle 4 Readers: Re-write needed on last pages.
