The plotline was a good idea, but I have to admit I was surprised this wasn't the author's first, or possibly second, book. While I abhor typos, wrong words being used, and chapters running into each other at times, the main issues I had with this book were that it felt fairly juvenile, and Becky came across a bit bipolar at times. We women know we all have our insecurities, but Becky over obsessed about them for paragraph after paragraph...then she'd get all confident and flirty with Reed in the next sentence. Same thing happened when, every time she sees Reed, she's clumsy and can't talk...two seconds later she's witty and seductive with him. And the fact that Becky is trying to start her own business but comes across as having no clue what she wants for a name, logo, colors, website, how to get more clients; didn't display herself professionally at her first trade fair; and obsessed way more about a guy while professing to be so serious about getting her business off and running...yet had a business plan she took to the bank...didn't make any sense at all...again, it made the story seem bipolar. It also felt like there wasn't enough 'story' to the book; it felt as though there was a depth of detail missing...not detail about atmosphere or environment, but more of a fullness about the characters life outside of obsessing about each other. We know nothing about any of the characters lives and not much about their pasts; it made it hard to relate to, or care about, them...there just wasn't enough story there...and there could have been; it would have made a much more better book. I doubt I will read the next book in the series.
