My Skylar by Penelope Ward

3.0

I liked this book. But I didn't love this book and I'll tell you why. I spent the majority of this book screaming at Skylar because I thought that she was being selfish and stupid!! Throughout the book Skylar makes decisions for both her and Mitch without so much as having a conversation with him. In her defense she does think that she's doing what's best for them when these decisions are made, but it still irked me. There was a point in the book where it was said that Skylar was honest to a fault and I just didn't see that coming from her once they got to a certain point in their lives. Instead of being honest with the person she loved and who was supposed to be her best friend she took matters into her own hands and ran when things got tough...twice!!! On the other end of the spectrum...there's Mitch. I loved him so much. He loved Skylar to a fault and with everything he had. Every decision he made was for her and his undying love for her was the only thing that kept me rooting for them to be together in the end. I feel like I got to the point where I wanted them to be together simply for the fact that I could bear to see him heartbroken again. I loved that they got their HEA and that everything worked out in the end, but the journey there was a rough one for me. Overall, I would still recommend this book because I know not everyone will find the same faults that I did. Also, Penelope Ward is a great write who obviously makes you care greatly for her characters.
