Review: Just Awful!

Ok, I will feel bad if the author reads this, but I have to say, this book is just awful. My first issue is that the characters who were supposed to be Americans did not talk at all like Americans. And no one spoke in complete sentences. I know not everyone speaks correctly so I expect to see some dialogue that is colloquial, but everyone I know uses complete sentences...such as "I went to the store"...not "Went to store". That really dove me crazy. The other major problem I had is that I hated the heroine "Holly". It is just hard to enjoy a book where the main character is as dumb as a box of rocks. She is overweight, but instead of trying to improve her health, she makes fun of others who are overweight and eating donuts, then turns around and stuffs her face with chocolates like a three year old would. By her own admission, she is pale and flabby, but for some strange reason, two intelligent, attractive and wealthy men fall in love with her after knowing her for all of 5 minutes. Yeah right. This book is also full of little "cliffhangers" that I'm sure are meant to keep you reading. However, you never find out what happens... the book just moves on to something else and never comes back. **Spoiler** The only reason I even finished this book was to see who Holly ends up with...but you never find out...the book ends with another cliffhanger; she ends up with someone, but it is up to you to guess who it is. Even if there was a sequel, I would not waste my time reading it. There are so many other problems with the book including shallow characters, poor plot development and some icky sex scenes that seemed out of place. I dont have enough time to write all the things I disliked about this book.  I'm sorry if I have hurt feelings.
