Review: 3.5 Stars - My only problem was the heroine.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 01 10, 2014
Hadley’s roommate dared her to kiss a stranger because she needed to enjoy life more.  Hadley only concentrated on school and the college newspaper she ran.  One night, drunk, at a tailgate, Hadley kisses Jack and it is one of the best kisses.  They separate, never get each other names. Until Hadley has to confront a fraternity on campus and she runs into no other than the guy who kissed her.I did not want them together.  Every time I thought Hadley would just be kinder, she wasn’t.  I understood her fears of being in love, but I did not understand her insensitivity to the way she treated Jack.  Her rules.  It was always about her rules.  Forget about human feelings.  It was like she was a robot.  I felt no connection to her.  When she cried, it was too late.  And I felt like they were only crocodile tears because she was lonely or jealous not because she actually hurt or hurt him.  Hadley never took his feelings into consideration.  She was cold as ice; never thought to apologize when he was hurting.My rating really has to do with the how I felt about Hadley and Jack’s relationship.  I don’t think I ever flinched so much as I did when Hadley would speak to Jack.  I did not want him to feel anything for her.  I wanted him to walk away and never look back.This relationship did not feel right.There was nothing wrong with the way the story was written.  Audrey Bell is a great story teller and writer.  Hadley’s roommate, David’s story was very well told. I think what happened to David happens so often that it needs to be discussed more. I usually do not like sub-stories with the main characters friends but this one I really liked.I will be reading more of Audrey Bell’s books.  She is actually an author that I seek out and look forward to seeing her release a new book.A copy was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you.
