Ugh. Offensive on every level and even worse, boring and unimaginative! Everyone is crazy gorgeous. Everyone is crazy wealthy. No one has to work for a living. Why are Lilac's parents completely out of the picture? Etc. The only part which (finally!) interested me was at the end, the hint of the sister (Violet) and her life in Kyoto. But I don't think I'll try that book as my husband is from that region of Japan, plus I lived and worked in Japan (Tokyo) for years, so I know it pretty well, and I'm afraid that the author will have made shit up and I'll be pissed about that. Have you ever reduce a rating because you have a second thought? That's what happened to me. I almost gave Nick and Lilac a three hearts rating because I enjoy this story. But... when I thought again about the story line, characters, and I thought that errrr... it deserves two hearts.First, okay, I admit that the romance and the hot scenes made me squirm. I like their interaction, how Nick wanted all Lilac's smile just for him. Sweet? Yeah, I thought so.Both of them had dark pasts. They tried to heal each other. Being together made the whole world better. Everything's fine. But, what I don't like is how they title their relationship. Just friends with touching, with kissing, and with sex. Or FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS. Ughhhh...I don't like it at all because Nick always said "We're just friends" to his friends, to Lilac. I wanna strangled him. He used her. Argghhhhhh... I really wish he said "It's kinda complicated. I wish we were friends, but I wanted her". Will be much much much better.And then, when someone really like Lilac,persuade her, and treat her the way Nick should, he became berserk. What the hell? And then he told a lie to Lilac to get her back. Geez! Fortunately, at the end, he realized it. He's so lucky to have Lilac.By the way, I really love this "someone" and he has a book for his story. I hope he found a woman that light his world :)Overall, the romance, I like it. The story line and the main man character, not so much.
What do You think about Nick And Lilac (2000)?
I really enjoyed this. The ending was kinda confusing but I still liked it

I really liked it at the beginning, but at the end it fucked up.
