The One That Got Away by Bethany Chase

4.0

This is my first review of a book from Penguin's First to Read program. I'm so nervous!

Romance and I have a love/ hate relationship. I love the thought of it, but hate reading about it, because you've guess it... I don't have it! The One that Got Away is romance chic lit to the tee. Sarina has two wonderful guys, one she is supposed to be committed to, Noah, and the one that got away, Eamon. She has wonderful friends and family, plus if the two guys weren't problems enough, she has to deal with job troubles and family woes.

So on to my opinion. I really enjoyed it until the end. The struggles that Sarina faced were real and easy to picture having to deal with. The humor was very subtle and gave the book a light easy going feeling. The ending started getting to me because of the drama Sarina was causing for herself. I think this was mainly a problem, because it is a common trait in women, including myself, to make things worse by over thinking and making a mountain out of a mole hill. The last thing that was the most horrible was the very end. I didn't want it, I didn't expect it..... I WANTED MORE. I kept scrolling in hopes of more pages, but alas I will have to imagine the rest of the happy ending and hope we all find our own Eamon or at least Newman. :)
