The writing is poor with characters who simply stating their enotions- that change quiet frequently. The dialogue is choppy, and most of it feels unnecessary. Almost every other paragraph is some extra detail about a minor side character well never see again and it does little to build the town or the people. Author was definitely just trying tonpad to reach a word count.
The side characters who Have Some relevance are one of 3 categories 1. jackass ex boyfriends or husband's who are flat and just jerks. 2. Female friends constantly trying to get one of the main females characters hooked up with a boyfriend. 3. Or the potential boyfriend.
