Review: I love Ruthie Knox but this wasn't my favorite from her
Rating: 3 out of 5

I sort of want to give this book 4 stars because I love Ruthie Knox and I love these characters... but this book was so long and scattered that I can't! I mean, it took me a month to finish it. A MONTH!I think this book probably works best in serial format. There are 10 serial installments that make up "The Complete Adventure," and reading them back to back shows just how varied in quality each installment is. At 516 pages, this is a loooong read, but it feels much longer due to the fact that some portions drag and others are repetitive.Which is a huge bummer because these characters are fantastic.I loved Roman and Ashley. I got such a complete sense of who they were, what drove them, what inspired them, and why they gravitated towards each other. Ruthie Knox did SUCH a fabulous job of making them realistic and fully fleshed out.The dialogue was also great. Witty, surprisingly sexy, and endearing.I wish this book was cut down by at least 100 pages because then I could give my 4 stars, which I'm dying to do because Ruthie Knox is one of the few M/F contemporary authors that I like to read.**Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review**
