Review: Being in Paige's Head Gave Me a Headache

I hated being in Paige's head.  Seriously hated it, I felt like I was in the mind of a flighty young girl who talks fast, thinks fast, and maturity level is high school (yes I know her age). It was like a confused, silly, faux strong girl conversation happening...all.the.time. She was annoying.  And Mitch was weak, immature, spoiled, and entitled.  Period. The end.  He goes from, "She ruined my life, I want nothing to do with her, to I am just here for my daughter to I want her back."  Stick with something and make us believe it.What did I like? Let me think...it was different.  I don't think I have read something with the plot in all my years of reading.  It had a ton of promise, but execution was substandard.  The premise of her just getting off birth control and not "remembering" and him not bothering to use a condom was contrived.  I know it happens but the way the author wrote it, just seem contrived.  The author made it seem like it was a set up by Paige, and then tried to change it up.  Really they both just did something stupid that teenagers and adults alike do the world over.  Be responsible people!  The writing was a bit choppy, and seemed to move from one place to another with no real fluidity.  I have read books from this author before and I don't recall this being a problem.  I read the prequel to this, or rather skimmed it, and it was the same there.Some other things that annoyed me:-The constant inner dialogue from BOTH of them about how "this is only for my daughter".We seriously don't need to hear that over and over to get it. -- Obviously if it was just for her there would be no story, or better yet there would be a story and it would be more believable!-The constant references to him as the "ex" - yep, we get it.-The fact that as a reader you know that had this been real life, she would've jumped for joy and wept at him coming back in "her" life in the beginning - the author didn't do a good portrayal of her being strong.  Just cause you say it doesn't make it so...-She was weak, which is way too much for me.  Can't stand weakness like that.- And finally, contrary to fiction most women don't forget all reason because they need an orgasm.  We don't lose our mind because someone is hot.2.5
