Review: Unlikeable Characters *Spoilers*
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 09 24, 2013
The writing was juvenile, the dialogue was stilted, the characters were all pretty unlikeable and immature, and I became bored with all the "telling". I felt absolutely no connection to the heroine, couldn't sympathise or understand her cheating at all, and both the husband and Caleb were very generic, cardboard cutout type characters so I'm not even sure why she was waffling between the two of them since they were pretty interchangeable.In regards to the cheating, the h went on and on about how much she loved her husband and they had such a great sex life but the day after she sees Caleb again, she's passionately kissing him in broad daylight with absolutely no thought to her husband. From all accounts, she had a nearly perfect husband and an amazing relationship but she was willing to throw it all away for a guy who hadn't tried to contact her in 10 years? And I don't care that we later find out her husband was cheating too because she didn't know that when she decided to hook up with Caleb. Besides, the husband's cheating was just a plot device to justify her indiscretions. Bottom line, the heroine was fickle and immature and I couldn't stand her. Also, Caleb was very much in pursuit mode from the first moment he saw her, despite the fact that he knew she was married. Who would want to be with a man that made no effort to be with you in the last decade but upon seeing you again, is declaring his undying love for you and kissing you on the mouth after you just told him you were married? I would have respected him more if he realized that he'd lost his chance with her years ago and tried to at least stay in her life as a friend. Instead he was just a homewrecking, selfish loser.
