Review: I could not finish this book
Rating: 1 out of 5
Date: 10 29, 2013
I received a notice a couple of weeks ago that this book was free for a limited time on Amazon.  It had quite a few 4 and 5 star reviews and very few that were lower than that at the time so I got it.  Thankfully I didn't have to pay the regular $4.99 price for this book because I would have been really, really ticked off at myself!  It's been a really long time since I have written a review on book that I hated but here goes...I only read 67% of this book.  I know, you would think that after investing that much time I would go ahead and finish it but after Foster stepped in and made things work the way that he wanted them to go, I just couldn't.  I wanted to scream at Rebecca because she was so blind and stupid to not that what happened to her was his fault.  Now I know that I could be wrong on this particular turning point in the book since I didn't finish the story but I highly doubt it.  I don't want to give anything away because like I said a lot of people really liked this book.I didn't really care for this book from the beginning.  It starts off extremely slow and boring and I kept hoping that it would get better but sadly, it only got worse.  Yes there were a few parts that were funny and okay but they were so few and far between.  The characters drove me crazy and the grandma... well she was just plain mean.  She never had a nice thing to say about anyone and was constantly putting people down.  I couldn't stand that women!  I wanted to throttle the old bitty every time she spoke.The two main characters were not compatible at all.  They couldn't have more different than each other and I can't why either of them were attracted to the other one.You have one super smart guy, Foster, who aced some test at corporate but shows up at meetings looking like he walked in off the streets.  Face looking like Chewbacca, clothes that are worn and wrinkled and shoes that are held together with duct tape.  Add that to the fact that he treats everyone like crap and yet he can't figure out why he's not being promoted.  REALLY????Then you have the main female character, Rebecca.  She is his complete opposite in every way.  Dresses to the nines, is on a constant cleansing diet, eats nothing but good foods mostly salads, works out all of the time and is apparently model worthy.  But yet she hasn't had a relationship in four years.  Apparently something traumatic happened but the author never went into detail, at least not when Foster and Rebecca were first starting the relationship.  If it happened later then that I wouldn't know but to me the time had passed for explaining why it had been so long,I hate giving up and it's hard for me to say this but I've wasted enough time on this book and will delete from Kindle. 1 STAR ONLY!
