As most people are, I am a huge Abby Glines fan. Bad For You has a great story line, which entertained me once again. I read a lot of reviews that said Abbi always writes the same stuff and does not change it up. I happen to like the way she continues to write her stories, even if it can go the same way as her other books. Isn’t that why most of us read – to be entertained by what she does best? I also love seeing the cameos of the previous characters as the series progress’. I smile every time it happens. :)I have read every book that Abbi has published, this book to me was the only one I have ever finished by her and felt liked there could have been more elaboration to the characters story. (not more to the story line, just more elaboration on the characters) There was love, heartbreak, redemption, and then a happy ending. I just feel like I didn’t connect with the characters like I normally do. I felt like I could have connected more if there was more elaboration in certain areas of the story: when Blythe wanted to talk more to Krit about what they were doing, he was waiting for her at school while she was walking out with Low, he told her that they would talk later about it. The chapter ended and the new one started with “two weeks later”. I would have like to have been there when she had the conversation with Pastor Williams while he was in the hospital and she learned the truth. Not just a quick it happen and more time has passed by with a couple of sentences of what happened next. Linc had a good start with his character, but then I felt is evaporated as the story went on.Because there is no follow up story to this book, Krit's story is definitely bullet pointed. What I mean by this is: we get sentences here and there about what his life is like, but not the full story. In other books in the Sea Breeze series, we get to know (more in depth) both main characters stories, what they are like, why, they realize both how to deal, then they live happily ever after. I didn’t get this feeling with Krit.Even with all this said, I liked this book, I will still tell my friends about it, and I will reread it because it was one heck of a story to tell. Thank you, Abbi Glines for continuing to entertain us all.
