Review: Could have been better

I really wanted to like this story and it had a lot going for it but there were certain things that I just did NOT like about it. (Warning, this review will have a bit of a spoiler but without mentioning it, I wouldn't be able to write about what it was that I felt strange about within the story).My main issue with this novella was Itch being in a relationship with Tess while marrying Jen. This just didn't really make sense. Okay, so they were on the verge of breaking up and everything but still (especially how it is mentioned that they were engaged?! And that he didn't want to get married to her and then out of the blue, he gets married to Jen). So strange! And then he goes home, sees Tess moving her things from his house and is all like "this is my wife Jen, my fiance Tess". What in the world? Otherwise it was a nice little story. I liked several things about it but felt that it could have been much better and some of the aspects weren't realistic. All-in-all I was happy to have read it but won't be rereading it. (I'm one of those people to loves to reread books).I think the story would have worked much better if Tess and Itch had been just friends and the author had left out that they were engaged, which I felt didn't work for the story.
