(The following review contains spoilers!)Ok, what was with this story? It was definitely NOT 5 stars.The story had potential but the character development...well, it didn't happen. It was just character leaps.The story started off well, but then the characters' personalities just seemed to change too much all of a sudden. Ben starts off as this cold, distant man. Then one meeting happens and he starts being this romantic, almost poetic kinda guy. It just left me wondering how did this change occur and why? Then you have Kate, who I felt was just so stereotypically female that it was kind of insulting. She was dramatic and stubborn to the point of being a little kid having a tantrum. She goes back and forth between loving the guy and being mad at something he did. Kate keeps talking about Ben not seeing her view and thinking about her feelings, but then she doesn't do those things for him. Then both of them get into arguments where they display some kind of righteous anger that just disappears the moment they see each other again. The final piece that seemed out of character was the last chapter. Kate was suppose to be a virgin but she sleeps with Ben and just seems to turn into this sex crazed woman. Also Ben, who is suppose to be this strong male, just starts freaking out and not knowing what to do because she's having a baby.So ya. The story could have had potential, but how Ben and Kate fall in love just seems so unrealistic and rushed to me. Their personalities also seemed a bit borderline to me too. Good thing the book was free. I would have regretted spending money for it.
