Review: Love By Accident

This book was hard to rate because while the plot was fairly predictable, it was well written.However, I had a major problem with Lauren and subsequently, Matt. Lauren was driving when the car accident that killed Gil and seriously injured Matt occurred. While I understand her motivation, she skipped town after the accident, not attending Gil's funeral or helping Matt through therapy. That's the part I have issue with. I understand her anger at Gil and her shame/guilt because of the accident, but that was all the more reason for her to stay and face what happened and help Matt, who was the innocent 'victim' in all of this. I also felt that Matt capitulated much too quickly. Four years of anger and rage doesn't dissolve after one or two conversations.Why Matt was still interested in a woman who skipped out on him when he needed her most was beyond me. How could he ever trust her to stay when the going gets rough?
