I don't like to give bad reviews, but I had to say something about this book. Tess was NOT a good lead character for me. Her pouty fits screamed immaturity when she was supposed to be this career woman working for the New York Times. For someone who writes for such a high profile paper for a living, she SUCKS at communication. Her relationship with Jimmy was so random and high strung, it was hard to feel a connection that was supposedly based on 20 YEARS of being best friends. Their chemistry fell flat and felt forced.  Another thing that bothered me was the situation with Joey. For her to be terrified of living in New York to the point of giving a friend a key to her place, you would think she would react/behave better when said friend mentioned the guy she was 'dating' was a registered sex offender. And I know books are a means of escape, but the last scene/conversation between Tess and Joey was so unrealistic, it's insulting to the women who have been victims of such. Talk about a lack of respect for readers. I can go on with complaints about this book, but I'm done wasting my time on it. I will gladly be avoiding this author in the future.
