Review: What did I just read?!?

Seriously, what did I just read?  This convoluted “plot” was so confusing!  And yes, those quotes have attitude!  I think “plot” is too strong a word for what this writing offers us.  I really do not enjoy writing bashing Reviews, but I had to let this one out.  I know it’s turning cliché, but where did all these 5 star reviews come from?(SPOILER ALERT):Confusing Ridiculous Plot.  Lily has a car accident on her way home to her sick mom and is stranded alone on a desolate highway and Asher (who she doesn’t recognize as her childhood love) slows down to grab her around the waist and throws her on the back of his motorcycle.  (Physically possible?)Against her consent, yet she doesn’t fight him, say anything and actually falls asleep on the motorcycle.  I think she may have narcolepsy – as she also falls asleep on the hood of her wrecked car – alone, on a dark desolate highway before she is kidnapped by the motorcycle gang…yeah, tough night.  They stop at a rest area  - her kidnapper leaves her to go inside and she stays on the bike!  She doesn’t run, scream help.  Nothing. Waits there.  He comes out and offers her an apple juice drink box.  Did you laugh when you just read that??  I did – I also did when I read it in the book and I don’t think the author was going for humor here.  I’m not quite sure what the point of that was.  So anyway, I kid you NOT – she falls asleep on the biker (Narcolepsy) again and wakes to her old street – where she was going in the first place to be with her mom.  The bikers surround her house ominously .  She runs to her mother – who somehow doesn’t seem puzzled that her daughter is there in the middle of night with a plethora of bikers.  Mom says, “Oh, you didn’t know, Lily – that’s Asher.”  Hmm, well okay.  We really don’t get much explanation how Mom knows it's Asher, we hear how Lily’s dad hated Asher, he was wrong side of town, yada yada.  We’re briefly told about Lily and Asher’s “relationship” as children.  There’s a bar scene where two men approach Lily and start to talk about Asher and how they can “beat him up” …wow, are these men or middle schoolers?  Men don’t talk this way! Asher walks up and one jumps up and runs out of the bar!  Oh, my word…it really went down that way in the writing!  This just gets more and more ridiculous and confusing.  Characters do things for no reason, without explanation etc etc.  Let me just bottom line it for you, not a good story.  And to top the cherry on the cake, it’s a very short, hidden serial. Which I am sick to death of btw.  I didn’t finish this – couldn’t - only a few chapters and already my kindle showed 66% complete – so it’s really short.  Just move along, folks..truly nothing to see here
