Review: The first 87% was good.  But the last 13% was unsatisfying and too vague.

DOWN FOR THE COUNT by Christine Bell.I enjoyed the relationship development and conversation during the first 87%.  Then the mother entered the picture and said things which they erroneously believed, causing them to break up.  That part was not well done.  I don't believe normal people would act that way and not communicate.  It seemed illogical.  They loved each other.Some readers are going to be ok with this.  They don't mind things that bother me.CAUTION SPOILERS - Why the couple separated:Galen is in love with Lacey, but he doesn't tell her.  He believes Lacey doesn't know what she wants.  That's what the mother said.  So he leaves and does not tell Lacey that he will wait for her.  Lacey thinks he doesn't want her.The mother tells Lacey one woman will never be enough for Galen.  Lacey believes it and doesn't go after him.  She doesn't want to be hurt in the future.  Uhhh, doesn't do it for me.DATA:Narrative mode: 3rd person.  Kindle count length: 2,573 (229 KB) 129 pages.
