Review: This book was okay. Not bad but it was lacking something.

Jessica and Simon meet and instantly fall in love, and I mean within a week. That's the first problem. Jessica finds out she's pregnant and a tragically revealed circumstance cause the two to separate.Jessica struggles with her past and so does Simon. However, they still love each other.Both have mother's that have not been very good parents. Simon's father was cold and never nurturing. The issues with their parents have caused them both a lot of pain.They struggle with living after it is revealed their pasts are connected in a tragic way.Pros:Pretty well writtenThis book didn't shy away from painful circumstances.Cons:Who falls in love within a week? Authors please stop this and develop your stories for us readers.I didn't feel the lust and love connection.Some of the corny language.She never really had any issues after losing her virginity to a big man. Really???Jessica was irritating to me at times. Not eating when your pregnant is stupid and not endearing. I know she struggled with her issues but that's selfish.Jessica didn't have much of a backbone for about 80% of the book.The people in this book were a little too forgiving. Her mother cursed around her children like a sailor. Talked about their clothes. Said she never wanted to see them. And Jessica forgave that too easy. I wouldn't trust that nut around my children.I just don't understand all of the 5 star ratings. I loved the last book by this author, but this was missing something and was rushed.
