Review: Disappointing

I downloaded this as a Kindle Daily Deal because reading the summary I thought it would be a story that I would like. The premise is definitely a story line that I tend to enjoy (couples who are apart but come back together), but unfortunately I couldn't even finish this one. I made it almost to the end, but I realized that I was forcing myself to finish for the sake of finishing and I don't like to do that.For me the issue was the writing. In terms of grammar it wasn't so bad, although there were definitely some phrases thrown in that I would avoid, but the story itself had a horrible flow. I felt like I was constantly being jumped around from one time to another with no real explanation of how I got there. There were also some weird plot twists (the guy who tried to kill her over the dog and pretty much the whole hurricane thing) that really didn't seem to fit, or come completely to fruition.I also struggled to like the characters. There were hardly any secondary characters, which for me is not good, but the two main ones were unlikable. Rory's a clueless jerk who can't see that he's unhappy (but not in a cute way) and Zoe just seemed to willing to hide and not fight for what she wanted.All in all, some readers may enjoy this quick and easy read, but I would recommend skipping it and trying something else.
