The novel was a decent read with a great plot.The characters were completely developed and you get your money's worth with the length.With that said, my biggest problem with this story is that the romance between Roxy & Adam took a backseat to all the other stories.*****!!SPOILER ALERT!!*****I felt like the author went in way too much detail and paid too much attention to the supporting cast and their backgrounds.Don't get me wrong, it was good to know some of the details, but the author gave the supporting characters CHAPTERS.Throughout the book, you hear about Roxy & her Mom (Reba), Reba & Roxy's dad (Harold), Reba & Donna (Harold's ex-wife), Roxy & her new found sisters, Roxy & her co-works...By the time we got to Roxy & Adam you've forgotten where they've left off & the author failed to make me feel their romance like I did in the beginning of the book.Also- I hated how Roxy got mad and canceled her date with Adam because she saw him having a fun lunch date with another woman.I appreciated how Adam confronted her and was like "Yo, we grown. Talk to me and get confirmation before you assume things".At the end, the tables turn and Adam was the one acting childish when he overheard Roxy and her friends talking about their pact.He broke things off with her before talking to her.This storyline was GREAT, however, I just got sidetracked by everyone else and their storyline.By the time I got to Roxy & Adam, I wasn't feeling their romance as much as I was in the beginning.I did not read the entire series, however, I feel a great book will stand on its own with or without the series.
