2-1/2 starsLike I said in my review for WHEN IN PARIS, I am new to this New Adult genre.  I haven't decided if it's for me or not, but heroines like one written here don't help the case.Rebecca Winters had a hot and steamy relationship with Scott Carver soon after they met at freshmen orientation. Something went wrong and Becca broke up with Scott. A year later, Scott is still in love with Becca and wants her back. He knows he messed up but didn't realize how badly he screwed up. Becca finally relents and gives Scott a second chance, but wants to take things slow. Now that they are back together, they have to rehash the past to ever make a future for themselves.I found Becca to be rather annoying. She tells Olivia in the first book that Scott is "a total dog." Then continues to say "He's my lying, cheating ex."  He's a "liar and cheater" because he said he loved her and months after SHE broke up with him she saw him on a date with another girl and kissing said other girl.  She is one of those girls who say the opposite of what she feels. She wants Scott to be a mind reader and know that when she says "fine" she really means something else. She's overly stubborn and takes everything as a challenge. She can't understand how he could believe the "reasons" she gave him for breaking up, that he didn't really know the true reasons WHY she did break up with him when she didn't tell him the truth. She also keeps putting up ridiculous obstacles in Scott's way for him to prove he loves her. She is VERY immature and needs to grow up in a BIG way. I really didn't understand why Scott liked her.I found it annoying that her "friends" constantly conspired against her. They would drag her to bars or parties where Scott was going to be so he could corner her. I found this to be awful friendship behavior. If my friends had done that to me even if it was "for my own good" as April tells her, I would have been livid and no longer trusted these supposed friends.Because of these things, I had a hard time really enjoying this story. Yes, Becca does grow up and realize what an idiot she was...but it so long to get there and then the story ends. Everything was her own self-made drama. It drove me bonkers.I did appreciate watching Becca and Scott become reacquainted and really start to talk. I thought Scott's whole "secret" thing was blown out of proportion. They really were the makers of their own misery.Overall, this story wasn't all that great for me due to Becca. There are lots of little tidbits of info showing us what we have in store for April and Troy's book. THAT one I'm looking forward to. I always like "friends to lovers" stories so I'm hopeful it will be a better fit for me than this mess.Language of Love SeriesWhen in Paris...
