Okay, so here's the deal: the story has been done before and there are no surprises - but, in saying that, it still finds a way to be really enjoyable.
You know the story: 'little rich girl' becomes 'poor little rich girl' - literally. Moves to the country and becomes real person who isn't such a big-city-dwelling snob after all.
Although Where I Belong does take on this story line - when I bought it I was aware of this and wasn't expecting anything else. Just a cute, fun read to take your mind off things; I found this great during a period where I had a whole bunch of school work due.
I liked the 'red herring' guy, but I thought he was really transparent and just an all round tool; I was really annoyed that Corrine couldn't see that. I guess that is what it's really like in reality though, you're blind to it until someone else points it out to you. So, in retrospect, the events of this novel were quite realistic.
Where I Belong is an enjoyable novel that gives you exactly what you expect and because of that expectation, it's that much easier to enjoy that.
