Review: Lots of Waiting for something to happen *spoilers*
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 06 2, 2013
So the description of the book says "A surprise pregnancy and an unexpected tragedy are about to change everything." so I kept that in mind when I started reading. The book opened with the surprise pregnancy, but I kept reading and reading and reading and I passed 50% and I was like I thought there was a tragedy? so I kept reading and reading wondering when something eventful was actually going to happen, and it didn't happen until almost 75% way through.It was hard to read the first 3/4 of the book because it was pretty plain and uneventful - There was basic polite conversation, have dinner, visit a friend, visit a doctor, spend a weekend at a cabin, visit family again, have dinner with friends.... ok ok SOMETHING NEW PLEASE!THAT all aside. I liked the story. The book is about Quinn, who was in love with her best friend Luke for many many years all through high school, and giving up on him, she starts dating his brother Jake in college (and they get married, and she finds out she's pregnant). Unknown to Quinn Luke was in love with her as well through all those years. Luke is devastated that she is marrying his brother, but is trying to accept that he lost his chance with her. Then something happens to Jake and Luke finds himself conflicted with guilt for wanting her and Jake to break up so he could have a chance with her and with being able to help her and be there for her.I feel like the author purposely dragged out the story and didn't really let anything happen until the end so that she could continue with a second book, but in truth it just made this book really boring. I AM going to read the next book just because it's finally at the point where I'm finally interested enough to read the story. This is the reason I deducted two stars. This story could have happened in one book, but I felt tricked into buying two books in order to have my conclusion because really there's only about 15% of the first book that was really worth reading. The rest could have been summarized in a a few chapters since everything else was just time passing by.I hope the next book gets going right away, and then I can give it a better rating!
