So far, this one's my favorite.
At first when I saw that it was Molly's story, I was hesitant to read it for some reason. Maybe because I don't want her to steal a little spotlight from her sister, Phoebe, maybe?
Then I enjoyed her interactions with Kevin, and who wouldn't adore Kevin Tucker, right?
Also, they're the youngest couple and that's why I can imagine them better, I guess.

Well, of all of the things I was expecting from this book, a rape in the first 50 pages was not one of them. So, yeah, Molly rapes Kevin in the first 50 pages. And then gets pregnant. And her repugnant overprotective brother in law forces them to get married. This book was released in 2001. This is a stupid set up and I hate it.

Ana kadın karakter Molly yalancı, manipülatif, düşüncesiz, bencil, kıskanç, şımarık ve saygısız. Yazar düşüncelerini böyle bir karakter üzerinden okuyucuya empoze etmek istiyorsa kadın karakter erkek karaktere tecavüz etmemeliydi veya en azından bunu roller değişti diye hafife almamalıydı. Molly tam kötü bir yanını unutturuyordu, kendini sevdiriyordu sonra pat! başka bir olay. Diğer karakterler de bu sefer biraz kişiliksiz, tek düze kalmış.
Aslında kitabı sevmedim demek de istemiyorum. Bu serinin genelinde kültür çatışması yaşıyorum. Sevsem de hep bir şeyler beni rahatsız ediyor. Bu kitapta ise işte sevdiğim kadar sevmediğim de çok şey vardı. Arafta vedalaştık diyelim.

DNF ~ there's absolutely nothing romantic about rape. Molly needs some serious time in therapy and a restraining order against her.

5 Slytherin Stars
Molly se pojavljuje u prvoj knjizi Chicago stars serijala kad je pravo derište, ali je odrasla i postala divna mlada žena. Kevina smo upoznali u trećem delu serijala i njih dvoje su tako savršeni jedno za drugo.
Kevin je stao i neko je vrijeme samo gledao. Molly je sjedila prekriženih nogu na livadi dok joj je sunce obasjavalo gola ramena, a par žutih leptira lepršao oko glave poput mašnica za kosu. Bila je utjelovljenje snova koje je izgubio, snova o svemu što je želio, a nije ni bio svjestan. Bila je njegov prijatelj u igri, osoba od povjerenja, ljubavnica koja ga je nevjerojatno uzbuđivala. Bila je majka njegove djece i družica poznih godina.
Bila je veselje u njegovu životu.

Another lake house paperback. Well...
Some of this was terrific. Some was hugely problematic. Some of the bits that I liked didn't make sense with other bits.

this was an improvement to the chicago stars books. although once again, SEP has the WACKEST ways of getting characters together. i really cant understand the level of NICE kevin had to be to care about molly, following everything that occurred when she found out she was pregnant. from agreeing to the marriage to pulling her out of her depressive state. that man was sent from the gods, and i hope molly mf knows it. she had multiple screws loose, but what made it work was that it seemed like kevin had a couple loose himself. they were both daredevils who sought for the thrill of life, and while kevin managed to do this withOUT hurting others, molly was just a little more oblivious during her episodes of daring... regardless, SEP made this work and by the end, i was rooting for them *sigh* more importantly, as juvenile as molly was, i enjoyed that she at least had SOME kind of backbone, unlike the heroines of the past two installments. also, the daphne and benny chapter intros were pretty cute. much better than some useless fake deep quotes some authors try to use to set the mood of the chapter.
