3.0

This book just really went back and forth for me. Some really great moments, but surrounded by mediocre context and occassionally awful moments. For example, in one scene, the main character looks at a woman and can tell just by looking at her that she's just waiting for a man to come along and take charge but she'd never admit it??? On the other hand, there's some really wonderful messages about the importance of men being open with their feelings and the need to accept soemthing has happened before you can move on. So overall, it just ended up middle of the road.
