First the positives... I liked the natural flow of the book. Had a very "real-life" feel to it. The author did a good job of pulling in the setting of the story and she paints a good picture for the scenes- I had an easy time visualizing where the characters were and what they were doing.  I liked the "hero" of the story.Ben was sexy, patient and had a so many typical male qualities it was funny.Now the negatives... I was so tired of practically every character on every page "sucking their teeth"! The author needs to work on varying her character descriptions.  The heroine was extremely annoying. She was needy, had co-dependent tendencies, and had very little confidence. I was hoping the male lead stayed away when he dumped her. I would have loved for her to use this relationship as a thing to learn and grow from and help make her stronger on her own. Them ending up together actually wasn't a happy ending to me! I also hated the ending. It was rushed and poorly written. If the author spent less time on the multitude of scene where people rolled joints and smoked weed, she could have given us an end we could have tolerated.
