Review: Wanted to love this book

I am by no means a professional writer.  I do average 120 books per year, with two jobs, two kids and a new love so I feel a little bit qualified to reveiew. :)I really wanted to love this book but there were some issues I couldn't get past. I found India to be very weak and one dimensional. I was more interested in learning more about Charley. I also thought the book could've been about 200 pages shorter if the author reduced the amount of times she used the phrase "couldn't believe".  I get it, the first couple of years, India couldn't believe how much her life had changed, but 10, 12 and 15 years in, everyone was still thinking how they "couldn't believe" xyz. I also think each of her relationships besides the one with Kenny could've been developed more. They all seemed to be about this intense physical attraction and no time was spent on the other parts of the relationship. I got tired of reading about each man's mouth and incredible kisses.  There was a ton of sex and very few times that she made love.  It got to the point that it was like "come on", again? No wonder so many men loved her...she walked around smelling like sex.There were times when I wanted to smack India and I guess that may have been the intent, but I would've rather she'd been written so I could empathize with her. She caused most of the problems in her life. I also disliked that almost every outfit was a strapless dress/shirt with strappy sandals OR tee shirt, jeans and boots.  I love to re read books but I won't be doing that with this book because it was redundant in too many places. I finished it though, so it definitely speaks to the potential and how interested I was in the characters, but it got to the point when I started skipping parts just to finish.
