I just don't know how to rate this. While reading I was thinking 3 stars but I've always said a story not finished is 1 star. So then giving up at 77% has me conflicted.Firstly I have to say I didn't give up because I hated the story. I think it was a good plot with great ideas and the writing was of Jenn's normal high quality. I just could not stand Katy. Like seriously hating her more and more as the story went on and getting more and more frustrated. Having 40 books to read this month I just couldn't justify spending more time on this book when I wasn't in love with it.I felt a lot of the story not just Kat was back and forth. I loved Brooks and think if this story was dual POV it would've eased the pain of listening to Kat! She was so back and forth and I'm not sure whether it was on purpose or not. She says Branch is a great lover, then later on says he's not. She says Bobby is a bad lover and later on he's the best, oh and then later again he's bad! She decided not to tell Brooks about the baby and then tells him she was always going to tell him. I just didn't get if she was a liar or stupid. I could not connect with her and was honestly sick of her whinging by the time I gave up.What pushed me to give up was the way she treated Branch and his new girl at the little family reunion. Like they had done something so terrible, like her sleeping with his brother on the night before their wedding was ok and that was his fault too. What was the worst thing he did, as a teenage boy manipulate them both into thinking each wasn't interested. Big deal, get over yourself Katy. Then she carried on like she was so above them, saying she would listen and laugh at her friends voice messages. Really Katy? You cheated on your fiancé with his brother, got pregnant, ran away, lived in a trailer and created one stupid situation after another and your above them? I don't think so! She was just so immature and again I'm not sure if it was on purpose.Was so looking forward to this and thought I'd love it so a little disappointed! :(
