Review: Not an HEA ending, but a WTF ending
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 12 26, 2013
First off, in the beginning Danielle is a selfish shallow person who gets married for all the wrong reasons, thus marrying the wrong guy, so yes, I feel that her crumbling marriage was mostly her fault. However, I have no sympathy for Jon, because he only tried making it work AFTER the divorce and AFTER she'd moved on. At least she did try to change before it came to that.Now for the book's CONS:1. In the very beginning, there's a scene being played out (written in italics) but because none of the characters other than Malcolm had yet been introduced, I had to read over it twice, and still had no idea what they were talking about until a little later on.2. I was a little bothered when he said that he was first drawn to Red (Danielle) because she was a black person who felt neither subservient or threatened. Just think it could've been phrased better.3. Every chapter begins with a date. Why does June 30th come after July 29th, only to be followed by July 1st?4. Why is not explained that Malcolm is having a flashback of one of the letters until afterward (in the middle of basketball game)?All other editing issues are fairly minor. For a while the writing is not so good, but it got much better by halfway through. I wasn't bothered by Malcolm's stalker behavior because it wasn't harmful. But this book goes to show that when you have money, stalking can be taken to a TOTALLY DIFFERENT LEVEL. These people are off their rockers! In regards to my review title, there is apparently a sequel to be released in April, which I guess is good to know, after being left with a crazy crazy plot twist near the end, and needing to know if Malcolm is going to tell Danielle everything he knows, and what's going to happen to/with their exes. All in all, still glad I read it, and looking forward to the sequel.
