Review: Loved It
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 27, 2014
This was a freshly unique and original book with full-blooded, if rather neurotic, characters and great dialogue and plot development which follows the rule to show, not just tell, the character's characters--arrogant man with all the answers riding his white horse into the messy life of his old crush who currently has none, whose life is sliding hopelessly to Hell on a rail, and the vultures are circling around picking at her bones. But all is not as it first appears...!  Loved this book until what was right about it sagged in the last quarter. It became awkward at the point when keeping his secret no longer made sense, and then it became even more awkward that Jess refused his calls--seriously, what woman that angry wouldn't have grabbed at the chance to tell him exactly where the bird pooped in the buckwheat?  So, for a time this otherwise graceful story went through an awkward stage. Would I have kept my exhausted body up until 2:30 AM just to finish a four-star book?  No way.  Definitely a five-star novel even with going through an awkward phase.
