So regretfully I have to admit that I read this some time and it has taken me fooorever to finally figure out how I felt about what I read. Let me first that this is my second encounter with Ms. Mayer’s work and since I was rather impressed the first time around I figure I would experience the same enjoyable...well that didn’t exactly happen.Brille is going through life just settling. And its for no good reason. Its not like she’s married and has children.. So in my mind its like whyyyyyy are you doing this to yourself. Why are you planning on marrying a guy that it borderline ewww to just ok. For whatever reason her discontentment in life bothered me beyond words. To makes all matters more uggghhh its somewhat her grandmother’s fault. Who tells a young girls that you should settle...that’s just wrong on so many levels.I would want not only my girls, but my son’s as well to find that person that makes up what they lack. To make them whole. To be that one person that the would rather not live without. I just feel like settling should not be an option, especially if you don’t have any true times.Throughout Ninety Eight I notice that Brille wasn’t the only one that was settling in a lackluster relationship. Darwin who by accident (literally) becomes that one person that makes Brille some kind of way. I even found myself getting caught up and lines became blurry when it came to those two. Than tragically everything change. Tears were cried. Hearts were broken.Just when Brille thought she could possibly not see the light of day, she meets Micah. He filled her up the same ooey gooey feeling the Darwin was able to provide. Things between these were intense, and after a short while it seemed that fate had something against Brille’s happiness. Luckily her world finally righted itself and she was able to have everything she needed and not settle.Overall Ninety Eight was very entertaining and kept my attention, the only drawback for me was Brille’s need to settle in life.It secretly (well its not so much of a secret) annoyed me. As far as recommending this its really hard to say I think you have to be in the mood for this to enjoy it.**Huge thanks to the author for providing me with an arc copy in exchange for my honest opinion**Please check out my blog at shawnasurvey dot blogspot dot com.Follow me on Twitter @shawnasurvey.Like me on Facebook at facebook dot com / shawnasurvey
