A review by mlarick
Windfall by Jennifer E. Smith

3.0

3.5 stars... first of all, such a pretty cover! loved carrying it around in public, made me look super artsy. i didn't think the book was bad by any means, but i did think it dragged on a bit. i felt like the author was trying to make things deep and have character development at the end, but i wasn't feeling it. personally, i think the big problem for me was the relationship between Teddy & Alice. to be honest, it seemed like Teddy was a jerk to Alice sometimes and she just easily forgave him or didn't even get annoyed. Teddys entire character annoyed me because he was really overconfident and never treated Alice with respect. and can we talk about Sawyer?? what happened to him?? he just up and left the entire picture after telling Alice she had no chance with Teddy? i think that was a loose end that could've been tied up at the end. honestly, i probably would've enjoyed this book a lot more if it ended with Alice and Sawyer, who was an actual sweetheart, becoming a couple and her and Teddy staying friends, or something like that. I also thought the book revolved around teddy a bit too much. Overall, it was a good book and i'd recommend it, just not a personal favorite or one i'll reread!
