I'm a sucker for a story where a couple gets back together especially when it's the guy trying to when the girl back. As much as I wanted to root for Nathan and Chelsea, I couldn't. I was annoyed by both of them and would have been more than happy if they called it quits.I may not have been in the right frame of mind when I read Two Wrongs, One Right. I've been in a contemporary romance funk and have been more than annoyed by the recent books I've read. I'm sure if I was in a different mood, maybe I would have liked this book more. Or maybe not.Another couple that are in their 20s but at least their in their late 20s this time. Nathan and Chelsea get married at the age of 18. Nathan immediately joins the Army and leaves Chelsea behind to deal with the fall out from her parents. This part I didn't understand. I thought her parents knew she was married but apparently they were only pissed because Chelsea was dating Nathan who they deemed not good enough for their daughter. Fast forward 8 years and Nathan's older brother, Gabe, is getting married. Nathan sends a wedding invitation to Chelsea. Chelsea accepts and sees this as the perfect opportunity to deliver divorce papers to Nathan. And here's where I start having problems.In the age of the internet and Google, why did Chelsea wait 8 years to file for divorce?? If she's so butthurt about Nathan deserting her and worried about her Dad's reaction to her secret marriage, she should have had those divorce papers delivered years ago. But to wait 8 years? And same goes for Nathan. Once I finished the book, I still couldn't understand why they both let so much time pass without doing a damn thing about their marriage. Were they just gonna go through life being married to each other?Overall Two Wrongs, One Right was a good story but not great. The issues that I had with Nathan and Chelsea prevented me from fulling enjoying the story.
