Unbelievably captivating, chilling, and downright enjoyable. These characters get better and better each book. This one tops all by far.

Honestly, I’ve never given up on a book. I trudged my way through 3/4 of the book and just couldn’t waste a single moment more. Weird story that is equal parts unlikely and uninteresting.

This short story took me AGES to get through. Completely devoid of substance, next to no character building, and aside from a snooze fest, it was aggravating that this could be published and considered literature.
I’ve never quit on a book, so I finished this one eventually, and even at the conclusion I wanted to chuck my phone at the wall.

This was the most poorly written book I’ve read in quite a while. First, it reads as though there was a different writer each chapter. The main character constantly contradicts her narrative and it’s not intentional. The cousin is described as an only child at the beginning of the book, only later to have a brother later in the story. The faulty narratives are distracting and rather frustrating. Makes you wonder if anyone read the story prior to publishing.

This is a gem, pure and simple. Incredible writing and such amazing characters. This book is just, wow.

This book was a scattered mess of (mostly) shallow characters and loose storylines. I get wanting to create sexy scenes, but at least make the characters and their lives richer and more believable. Ugh.

I had committed myself to these books because they allow for multitasking, bring mostly just joy, and fall directly into the “guilty pleasure” genre. This book was unbelievably irritating from the beginning. I actually triple checked my device to see if it had skipped forward somewhere. The author seems to have taken her audience as the unthinking, uncaring about details type. Almost feels like an insult. I had forgiven all the previous books for their form-fitting, one style fits all plot, in favor of the lightness of listen-ability and sweetness of characters. I had forgiven the fact that we never really get a real character with family, friends, complicated histories (and not the faux-complications of strictly heartbroken or committed to singledom), etc., but really, in this book the characters were supposedly madly in love, boy dumps girl to pursue his career, let’s YEARS go by, then sees her at the park and decided to relentlessly pursue her again (and seriously, if their love was so deep and the breakup so painful and abrupt, are we to really believe neither has looked the other up on social media? That they haven’t had in-common friends that reported on them? That they’d honestly just move on without trying to reconnect sooner?). Then, if it wasn’t bad enough, we are to believe that they wouldn’t have issues about what has transpired over the years? And the ridiculous “drama” about the father that never matriculates or even seems to mean anything, nor the reader ever interacting with any family members?
This book was obviously written in a few days. She followed all her other plot lines and skeleton-line character portrayals, but ran into the problem of being out of ideas for life dramas and ways that some people actually would find themselves reconnecting after such a stretch.
If my ex (no matter how much I thought of him) turned up at my massage studio and got completely naked to show how much he wants me back, I’d consider calling the mental asylum. What an absolute cocky asshole! And for her to swoon all over it is repulsive. If they had reconnected, gave it a go for a while, then the guy wanted to be risqué and drop his drawers at her place of employment, fine, go for it. But to make that his “I want you back even though I’ve just seen you for the first time in eight or so years and I’m thinking getting naked and shocking you will do the trick,” is insane.
It’s safe to say it’s time to move on from Ms. Blakely until she proves that she cares about turning out better quality stuff.
Sorry for the rant. I don’t usually review books whether I like them or not, but this was shockingly maddening.

Odd mishmash of a story

First, I didn’t like either narrator and neither fit the persona being described by the author.

Second, there was no real central point of the story. Felt like we were just getting a glimpse of a few months of the lives of a couple getting together. Of course there was some drama surrounding both characters, but the main character’s crazy mother was a wacky, absurdly designed character with very low believability. The other main character’s ex-wife was also a strange character. Her seemingly dual-personality was at odds with how she obviously raised three brilliant and kind children and was a seemingly loving and headstrong wife. The post-divorce weirdness would seem a complete over dramatic characterization that also just didn’t fit the person described.

There were a few stories and characters that were built up and left you wanting more resolution—like the meth dealer and even the odd stalker and sweet ex-husband.

Overall, the story was sloppy and unbelievable. The characters weren’t believable, nor people I felt an attachment to. The narration was by two overdramatic (she whiny and he too gruff) narrators that didn’t fit the described characters and were irritating.

Pass on this story.

First of all, I am a mega fan of Andi Arndt. Unfortunately, her narration annoyed me throughout many parts of the book. I get that she was going for the stereotypical Minnesotan accent, but it felt overdone and a bit ridiculous. Not to mention, the character had it strong sometimes, then others lacked it entirely.

For the story, I genuinely loved it. I found it a very sweet, funny, relatable tale. I highly recommend the book, it’s worth a credit or purchase. I do wish, however, that it could be re-recorded for consistency.

Performance was amazing; substance of story was incredibly rich; and ending was pleasantly perfect. I loved this book so much more than the whiny Lulu character’s story. Can’t wait to read it again!
