Review: Yoda would love this book

I had to keep going back and rereading sentences in this book. A lot of it did not make sense. Dani has a bad back, yet she is yanked, pulled, pushed and runs (even though it makes her back hurt) with few or no consequences. Rhys must by bi-polar since his moods seem to swing from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other. The plot was thin, and felt contrived, especially since a minor character was responsible for any tension in the story, which was caused by gossip.  My major problem with this book was the fact that it seemed the author went out of her way to put in "big" words instead of "regular words". It would just stop the flow of the story.  A lot of the time, they didn't make sense.  You don't extract yourself from someone's company, you extricate yourself.  Steam cannot dissipate from your skin.  People "skittled" instead of "skuttled".  Then there was "oozed of strictness", and "insurgent behaviors".  Huh?  You get the idea.  Then there was the married woman who was a maid of honor, not a matron.  Oh, and a pumpkin is a fruit or gourd, not a vegetable.  Anyway, my favorite line from the whole book should have been uttered by a small, green Jedi master, since he popped into my head when I read "Irksome, it was".  That is how I would describe a lot of this book.
