3 out of 5The second book of the series continues on with the moderately entertaining story of Poppy and Ryan, jumping forward a bit in time to their engagement and Jazz’s delivery.  As with the previous, drama and bad luck follow Poppy everywhere.  There is actually a bit more real life story here with friends and extended family, and that aspect I enjoyed.  Some of the supporting characters really showed a different side here and helped change the dynamic of the story.  I loved Poppy’s mom!  However, I honestly grew tired of the never ending nonsense and the practically schizophrenic emotions of Poppy and Ryan.  Unlike the first book, I felt very little chemistry between the two.  Couple that with the fact that they couldn’t/didn’t seem to communicate with each other at all, and I finished feeling they weren’t really meant to be together.  Certainly they weren’t ready to make a big commitment.For me, the best parts and saving grace of this story were those from Jazz’s perspective, and I wish there had been more.  These bits kept me reading, and even if predictable, her connection with Ollie and emotional struggle after childbirth seemed more real (and relevant) than Poppy’s drama.  In the end, the book was just ok for me.  It was too long, too much of an unnecessary roller coaster ride and I missed that emotional connection to the couple pledging “I do”.  If it had been more about Jazz, I think I may have felt differently.
