Review: Not the best...

I'm not sure how to rate this book. I found the book felt really rushed and I mean the book not the story. It felt like the author just wrote it, maybe read over it once and hit publish. There were things that just didn't add up. For example it says that Charlee is 20 and Dax is 19 then it says they are two years apart? Also after 10 years had passed Charlee says to Taylor I can't believe you have a 10 year old, but 10 years earlier in the story Taylor's daughter was talking quite well so she was a minimum 2years old which doesn't add up. These are small things but bother me lots as I'm someone who is always taking note of timelines etc I don't understand how stuff like wasn't picked up by anyone if I picked it up through one read? Not sure if this has editor, beta reads etc??I found the characters really immature and a little over the top which probably wasn't so much a problem in the first half of the story but when your reading about them 10 years later and they haven't changed at all it's just off putting! 10 years later and no one in the friendship group had changed at all, seriously only Dax had moved forward with someone and it was someone from the past anyway. There was also so much time spent in the past we didn't get much of a look at them in the present and see more of them resolving their problems and falling in love again. The whole story felt wham, bam than you ma'am and just felt so immature.In saying all of the above I read this story in half a day as it was an easy read and didn't take any effort to keep reading. I also cried and felt throughout the story with the characters so it definitely pulled at my emotions and drew me in.This story had a lot of potential but I just felt it could've been done so much better!!2.5 stars
