My first and second review of this book got rejected, so the third time's a charm. For me, this book was just okay. Roxy and Zayne bickered way too much for my taste. She cussed more than any guy I know, and more than several women I know who cuss a lot. She's supposed to be trying to make it on her own, but she's soaking in expensive bath oil, living in a townhouse in a wealthy neighborhood, and wearing her "blahniks." She says her parents are awful to her, but I didn't see her turning down the shoes her father sent.When Roxy's mother arrives on the scene, Roxy tells her she was a terrible mother, and I didn't feel this was very "heroine-like." No matter what happened in the past, they are mother and daughter. I'm very close to my mom, and I'd never think of calling her "despicable." I did love the secondary character of Zayne's mom, though.The author changed the font on Roxy's letter from her father, and it was very difficult for me to read.I like D.D. Scott's books and writing, but this one wasn't as good as some of her others.
