Sometimes its hard to tell if a book will will be interesting from just reading the book description.This was one of those times. I wasn't sure so I downloaded the sample.The sample peaked my interest somewhat. In my mind I was thinking "I hope this isn't a story where the heroine is just plain silly and makes excuses for her stupidity." But since I've read all of this authors books and they are all good I decided to give it a go.Well I am pleased to say Bree is smart and determined and I was pulling for her all the way. Although she did make some bad decisions the book is well written and you can really connect with her and understand how she got to those choices. She didn't make excuses for herself, she just tried to move forward and do her best regardless. I love that she was bold enough to speak out even when her opinions differed from everyone else's... even when everyone else was more experienced than she was. But she wasn't obnoxious about it at all.Robert made some bad decisions also but I love the way he stood up for Bree. He allowed her to be who she was and he didn't try to change her or bully her. He recognized that his favoring Bree wasn't helping her in the popularity dept. and he tried to minimize it as much as he could.He did allow her to express herself and argue her point especially when she didn't see eye to eye with the heavy hitters. And he didn't allow anyone to mistreat Bree and get away with it.Its really a good story and I'm glad I purchased it. Even though they had a big gap in age , they made a wonderful couple. I highly recommend reading the book.And then put it on the "too be read again" shelf.
