Review: Middle of the story is pretty boring…

Yasmin lives in Las Vegas and runs the struggling book store she inherited from her parents. Scott and his family have just moved to town from Chicago to get away from the tragedy that happened to their family there.Yas needs some new cutting-edge book search program for her store, but doesn’t have the funds to purchase it without loans.  Unbeknownst to Yas, Scott happens to be the rich boy genius creating it.  They meet when his niece takes an interest in her store. There really isn’t much excitement through most of the story. Once Scott and Yasmin hook up it gets pretty boring till the big blow-up towards the end. Of course, the misunderstanding you can see coming very early on.  Many of the side characters (her co-workers, his brothers) aren’t fleshed out very well and are hard to keep straight. The simple plot feels more young adult in genre.Told from Yasmin and Scott’s alternating POV, at times the story reads more like a teens’ diary than a 20/21 year olds’ narrative.  And some of the dialogue…well I can’t quite imagine people talking like that.There is no cheating, and there is a HEA, although by the end you get the feeling that the moral of the story is that money fixes everything.
