99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne

2.0

---

I had a really hard time getting into this book, and once I was in it I didn't like it. The main character, Darcy, has heart problems and doesn't seem like a particularly good person, she comes across as very selfish and grumpy - she has one friend, Truly, who does seem like a lovely character but isn't focused on much. Darcy's love interest, Tom, is her beefy childhood friend. Tom is written as if he's practically her brother, so it's weird when Darcy is desperate to get with him (her desperation is hotter than any of the sex scenes, but also so gratuitous it got boring). There isn't really a reason they can't be together, so the build up to them getting together didn't make sense to me. Darcy also has a self obsessed brother Jamie, who appears to add a bit to the plot (to keep Darcy and Tom apart), but that plot line dissolves within pages. Even the part when Darcy is pining over Tom and hoping he will come back felt thin.
