Review: Hated It

Thought I posted a review earlier today on my Kindle, but it didn't show up nor did I get confirmation.  So, I am trying again.  I reread some of the reviews posted, particularly 1 and 2 star.  I am happy to know I wasn't the only one that found the plodding style almost more than one can bear.  On several occasions the author used pretty antiquated words to, in my opinion, show off the character's intelligence.  Maybe if one character used pulchritudinous when referring to Allie I could swallow it, but when 2 different characters with totally different backgrounds use it, it just stretches the boundaries.  There were a couple of other exmples, but I'm old and don't remember as well as I used to.  But, we kept on reading.  I really hate it when I waste my time this way, but it is what it is.  I hope future offerings from this author will be detailed, but not to the point of having to skip pages to move on.The only character I liked was Blake.  I wanted to put a bullet through Wyatt.  His whole persona and attitude was offensive to me.  He claimed to love Allie, but everything he did was purely self-serving.  Sophie was trailer trash personified.  Lucille took liberties that a mother shouldn't stick her nose in.  Allie really needed that crack in the head.  Sadly, it didn't clear anything up for her.  The last few chapters were excrutiating. The ending was ridiculous.
