Review: A Little Too Rushed

Spoilers**I found the first half of the book held my interest better than the second half. It seemed like something was missing when they reunited 20 years later. I guess I was expecting more drama when the heroine confessed what the hero's coach had done but the conversation was almost an afterthought and they seemed to move on from it pretty quickly. Actually really quickly...they were already talking marriage a few days after the reunion.I think that's why I didn't like the second half as much...the story became kind of rushed and cliched for me. A person can change so much in 20 years and I felt like the hero and heroine were so desperate to recreate what they had in high school that they didn't really make an effort to get to know each other in the present. The heroine hadn't even met the hero's kid but she was already talking about all of them moving in together.Also, for anyone who doesn't like cheating, the hero makes out with another girl while drunk at a party when they're in high school. The heroine never finds out that he cheated though because the heroine's best friend walks in on him and the other girl and stops things from progressing any further. The BFF promises not to tell the heroine he cheated as long as he never does it again. I understand that the hero was young, immature, and feeling sexually frustrated because the heroine kept rebuffing him and he didn't know why but the BFF pissed me off when she agreed not to tell the heroine. Him kissing the other girl was a stupid, one-time thing but the heroine still deserved to know.
