Jake Understood by Penelope Ward
4.0
DNF 14% What I read of the book was well done just like Jake Undone. Not sure why it didn't pull me in. It felt like I was rereading Undone without much new info (which is always a danger when doing his/her novels). However, I didn't give it a lot of opportunity having put the book down so quickly, but it just wasn't holding me.
I also have to say it could be because of the married issue. In Undone we don't know until so far into the relationship I just wanted to understand the whys, whereas here you know from the onset, which frankly made me uncomfortable even though I understood his reasoning.
Regardless don't let my DNF deter you. I'm a fan of this author and have read everything she's written aside from this one and strongly recommend her.
