Review: Terrible and offensive in one book

Wow, where do I start. This was touted as a 'romantic comedy'; it was neither romantic nor comedic. I had to come here to see if it was actually written by a woman because I couldn't believe a female would say some of the things in this horrid book. The main character, I refuse to say 'hero', calls another woman a skank and a slut. Let me be clear - this is NEVER acceptable, NEVER. I nearly stopped reading the book right there. Then I thought, 'No, the author is probably making the main character with bad traits deliberately so that later, when she becomes a nice person, you can see the difference.' Yea, that isn't it at all. The main character never turns into a good person. She is consistently horrible throughout the book; sexist, homophobic, whiny, self-involved, spoiled, narcissistic, entitled and stupid. Then when she doesn't get her own way, or rather what she thinks she is entitled to, she decides to commit suicide. I guess this is where the comedy is supposed to come in, or is it the adventure? Still, the writing was fairly solid, very few grammatical errors, and I probably would have given it 2 or 3 stars if it wasn't for the ending - or rather non-ending. See, the book ends in the middle of the story. This was the last straw; a book is a book. Part of a book is part of a book. Don't sell something and say it is a book if it is half a book just so you can force people to buy the rest of the book from you. Fortunately, the book was so awful that I feel no desire whatsoever to know what happens next. I recommend you skip this.
