I had hoped that this would be a cute, distracting, fluffy romance. Instead what I get is:
- two adults in their thirties who think that the proper way to respond to an ambiguous text conversation is to not talk to each other for 14 days
- two HIPAA violations in one week (one of them is a doctor and the other is a lawyer—how are either of them still employed?)
- writing that I have no explanation for other than it must have come straight out of Twilight fan fiction
If this is your model of an adult romantic relationship, you don’t need a boyfriend/girlfriend. You need therapy.
I really wanted to like this, especially because it does try to be new and give a clear voice to interracial relationships, but it was just so poorly executed. Both the main characters were so flat. I understand that not every book out there has to have Nobel Prize-level characterization, but good lord, these characters could pass for geometric planes with how two-dimensional they are. Sure, it'll scratch some chick lit cravings if you have them, but don't spend your money on this one.
