It was okay, but not for me. It felt like the author was trying to condense a long story into a short one.  There were a few typos but more problematic for me was that we were told what was happening more than shown, the writing was a little stiff and kind of awkward. The story didn't flow quite right for me, it felt flat.  The summary also is a tad misleading, letting us believe Vickie is having a particularly hard go, but the bad stuff is glossed over and the story show her turn of quite good (if unbelievable) luck. As for Vickie and Jake, they didn't have enough time or interaction for their characters much less their relationship to develop in my mind, they went from virtual strangers to BAM 'in a relationship'.  Perhaps if this had been a longer story, where we could see what she went through and get to know both Vickie and Jake it would've worked, but it wasn't and it didn't work for me.
