I liked the "thought" of this book. The "plot" of it is quite interesting, but someone else needs to write it. When I started reading this book, I thought it was great. Candy had a bit of a reputation growing up. The way she pulled her self up from a less than advantaged life, and created a new one for herself, that was admirable. The fact that she now goes slow with guys instead of bed hopping, very admirable. The book started to get interesting.But then, the author starts to get repetitive. It seemed as if they copied and pasted some of the same paragraphs everywhere to fill the book. (I hate filler when it's just being repeated over and over) Candy thinking about how she did all the rich boys in school because of daddy issues. Candy thinking about Ryan's sister. Candy thinking about her mom or her dad. Candy thinking about Mac. (Get the point?) Yea, as redundant as those last few sentences, that's how I started to feel this book was.Candy also lost my respect, and I feel that's the author's fault. Ok, so she had an easy reputation in high school, but what man would stick around with no sex for years? Which brings me to another complaint. The timeline. It just hops all over the place, and you're like, wait, what just happened. We seem to jump over the span of years, in the same chapter. Back to my sex complaint, Candy drags poor Ryan along by the nose, then pushes him away, and he comes right back. How can you respect the main character who's just a poor pathetic weak guy? None of the characters are really relatable once you get past the first few pages.
