Exclusively Yours
by Shannon Stacey
For the most part, I really enjoyed this story. I laughed and cried, so that must mean the author did a decent job.
In the first half, I had quite a few issues with the heroine, Keri. I would find myself liking her and then the author would put in something that made her seem super shallow and materialistic. I kept waiting for more information as to why she had left the hero, Joe way back when. I will say, that once we learn about her thoughts on graduation night, I did eventually get why she left. As an 18 year old I could see that she thought that way. It still didn't redeem her shallow thoughts, but after the first half the author finally stopped throwing those snippets into the text.
One other thing that bugged me was a quick part when they were talking about his books. It was such a blatant rip off of Stephen King that it felt very cheap and like a lazy way to handle that part of the book. I'm not sure why it bothered me so much, but it did.
Other than those minor issues, I liked how realistic I felt the dialog and feelings were. The fears and insecurities of the couples were handled well. And I adored the kids in the story. They really added a fun element.
