Review: I wanted to like it, but no... Cannot.  Don't bother with this one.  Just reread On Dublin Street

I really wanted to like this more.  I did.  But man, it was hard to finish.  Ellie was such a sweet, interesting character in the flagship book, On Dublin Street; the glue that sort of held it together when the two main characters were opposing forces.  But this... this was just glaringly not good, and it wasn't the writing.  This author's got the skill.  That is not the issue.  The story itself is just cast a harsh light on how adolescently nave Ellie is and what a dick the man of her dreams was... until suddenly, he wasn't.  Um... What?  Ellie iss basically the bambi-like, fawning moron who has been so madly in love with the immature and whorish Adam since childhood, she's just asking to get her ass kicked.  And she cries.  ALOT.  And frankly she should.  Because she's an idiot.  I really struggled with this book, particularly since I liked On Dublin Street and the Joss/Braden interaction so much, but save yourself a few hours you'll never get back.  This is so not worth the read...
