This story is saddled with a weak plot, flat characters, poor sentence structure, choppy syntax, and just plain old weird writing. The author employs a vapid, stagnant writing style, and uses a shallow vocabulary riddled with a plethora of weak verbs and superlatives. Over 100 exclamation marks were used in place of a lack of working verbs!!! If I hear the word "hot" one more time, I'm gonna barf on my Kindle, ("hot" was used at least 60-70 times, "beautiful" and some variant of "sex" were used 50 times each). Shadonnna Roberts: get a thesaurus fergawdsakes. The inane characters say things like "Heck"; yet the author writes: "he was a sexy and as hot as hell..." as if the story couldn't decide whether to be a Christian story or a steamy romance. Who is the audience?One tediously long sex scene. (There goes the teen audience). Far too many bad 80s iTunes playlists invoked. The unbelievable plot is shallow and riddled with loopholes, and there are few transitions. No segue to Lucy and Antonio's breakup and proposal. It's as if a huge chunk of the storyline went missing. We're told that the story takes place in Toronto, but it's only a placeholder for a locale—like much of this book. I tried to give it a second chance as I bogged down at Chapter 5, I managed to finish the book and now I'm really sorry I persevered.So much for a fun birds themed wedding. Angry birds a la Hitchcock's The Birds is about how I felt by the time I got done with it. Don't waste your time. Many little grey cells will be harmed if you persist in reading this drivel. Teenage writing, at best. FWIW, no self-respecting Italian man would be called Toni. It's Tony.Book One was so awful I can't imagine there are more of these things out there breeding. I can't believe I actually finished this book. Colossal waste of time. Not worth the price—not even for free.
