So...I guess I just didn't "get" this book.  I'll admit, I was a bit lost.  It starts out with Megan getting ready for a date with her boyfriend of 5 years, whose house she has never been to (??), and then jumps right into several months later when she's pregnant with John's baby.  Uhhhh...what?  I mean, the time jump is fine, but let me know it's happening in some way.  Honestly, for me, the book the just got worse from there.  Megan meets Mark at a bar.  Mark seems like a nice guy, but I don't understand his instant attraction to her.  I mean, the first night he meets her, he texts her ALL NIGHT LONG.  If that happened to me, I'd run.  Far.  And fast.  There's just no explanation for why Mark feels the way he does.  There's really no motivation for any of the characters.  Which brings me to my real problem with this book which is that the plot and character development are severely lacking.  In a story like this, you really have to show the characters evolving, give me insight into their behavior and motivations...keep me, as the reader, in the loop. This story had some honest potential.  You don't see a lot of pregnant leading ladies in romance novels, and that I thought was awesome.  But, this story needs serious work.  Keep on trying!
