Review: Frustrating heroine....

I really wanted to like this--friends to lovers can be such fun--but the heroine especially just didn't work for me here. She flip flopped back and forth between wanting Garrett for sex, wanting to be just friends, wanting to give a "real" relationship a try, to knowing they could never be more than friendly roommates so fast it was hard to keep track. One minute she could never trust anyone again, and then the next she was in tears because she'd lost her chance with him forever. Ugh. Craziness, even for pregnancy hormones. She was inconsistent in other ways too--at the beginning of the story, when she's planning on seducing him as part of her great "get the cheating ex out of her head" plan, she knew that Garrett had a thing for her in high school. She was counting on it. But later on when Garrett mentions the same to her brother/his best friend Mike, she acts amazed. Why? It made no sense. Garrett was a more steady character on the whole, but even he did the lightning-fast emotion change thing a time or two.Did I mention it was frustrating?I was given an ARC by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
