Finally finished reading Hoshi ha Utau, by the infamous Takaya Natsuki of Fruits Basket fame. If you've read that manga (not just watched the anime), you'll understand what I mean.

For 9 volumes it was pretty damn good. Straight-forward shoujo. Then the inevitable Natsuki Twist. Made me seethe with anger until the very last chapter, where it rectified it.

I'm not sure I'm "over it" yet because it essentially cancels out the rage-inducing twist, but at least it ended well.

I guess I'd recommend it if you like some relatively heavy romance. It's slow, almost like Toume Kei pacing,but she's like the exact opposite in which she puts ... you under a deluge of thoughts (Toume Kei has a distinct style where hardly any "inner thoughts" are used, making it difficult to understand what people are thinking). If you tire of the standard romance with super bright sun-light main characters you might like it. But there's a lot of emo-ness, as you'd expect from her stuff.
