In The Dark by Monica Murphy

4.0

I have to admit, from the description, I was expecting the whole summer part to move along fast but it didn't. That wasn't a bad thing. I was just being my usual impatient self. I thought the part where he fell asleep while kissing her pretty funny. Like is that a real thing? Can that really happen? He genuinely fell for her at first sight, it just took him a long time to realize his feelings and to let down his barriers. I thought it was cute how he reminded her she was beautiful and didn't need a diet. That part was kind of irritating me. I know if this book was ever made into a movie, the actress playing the main character would look skinny. Also, she said she looked or felt 20 pounds heavier... It didn't seem like it. That part bothered me. I didn't understand where the author was going with it since she never established the reason as to why she felt that. The pregnancy scared had me on the fucking edge. At one point, I began to believe she was actually pregnant. I thought her mom being pregnant with her at such a young age was a foreshadow maybe. I was so relieved she wasn't pregnant. I love the chemistry between them.. I do wish the author could've gotten more into their family background (as I mentioned in the first book), and into their personalities a bit more. I felt like a lot more could've been revealed. It would've definitely made this book much better. I'm glad he was able to forgive her and the ending was cute.
