Review: I wanted "More" from this book--NOT a good read!

I felt like I was watching a cheap, low budget soap opera, and stopped reading this book before I finished it, because, frankly, I could care less what happens with this woman's love life.  The characters were all 1 dimensional, and that may be too high of a complement.This book hops around.  One minute you are reading about the lead character in present day, and then suddenly, for no reason, it hops back to a time when she was in college helping the guy she is currently in love with to study for finals, with no apparent reason for this flashback.  Other books, when they have a flashback, it's to recall an earlier crisis or introduce HOW two characters met, etc.  This just seemed like someone had mixed up all the pages of the book and put this section in out of order.And then there is a scene referring to a character who is this teenager out walking with his girlfriend and he asks her to marry him.  We have never even been introduced to this girlfriend before, and it isn't even really clear who this teen is who is out walking with his girlfriend.  He is referred to by the same name as the local landscaper's son, so I am assuming that it is supposed to be him, but I just couldn't see WHY they had to throw in this kid, who had only had a small part up till then (doing landscaping scenes), suddenly proposing to a previously un-introduced girlfriend.And then the lead character has a friend, who in an effort to console her after her attempt to get the old college friend to declare his love for her doesn't work, this male friend suddenly announces, "hey, let's try it out and see if we can be a couple".
