**THIS IS ONLY A REVIEW OF THE FIRST BOOK IN THIS TWO PART STORY THAT IS ALL IN ONE E-BOOK. Once I read the second half, I will review it and add it onto this one and average the star rating.**This book is about Maggie.  Maggie reminds me of your typical woman. She wants to lose weight, meet a man, likes her job but would rather be doing something else.  Basically, this book tells the story of Maggie's life for a few months.  She goes on dates, has fights with her friends, pines after guys, etc. I was very bored with this book; I felt like all it was was Maggie complaining about her life.  It was exactly like real life, which is boring. No body wants to read about what goes on in your actual life. That's why we read books - to escape reality! The only saving point in this book and the only reason it got three stars from me was Blake, Maggie's childhood friend that she reconnects with and ends up liking.  He was funny and just livened up the story.  The scenes that he wasn't in I rushed through until he was there again just so I could laugh and smile. The story was just finally picking up the pace and then it ends.  Now, the e-book version that I bought of this contained the second book in it.  I don't know why there are two books, they should just combined into one with one title, because it cuts off in such an awkward place.  I'm looking forward to the second book, though to see what happens to Maggie, Blake, and the others. Hopefully the pace stays how it was toward the end. & I pray that Blake continues to be in the story otherwise this is going to go downhill fast.
