The title, “Rushed”, pretty much sums up how this book was written and edited.  Every conflict this book has doesn’t even take a full page to develop and become resolved. I understand it’s a quick read, but it was lazily written and edited. The amount of grammar and continuity errors in the novel is astounding to the point that I feel pages were just left out??? How did her car get back to Oregon? What about the friendship she formed with the people from the initial trip?  In total, I didn’t hate it and I will finish the series because I like to see things through, but I still have no idea how this author is a bestseller. This book is something I would have written during NANOMO in my high school creative writing class and gotten a B- on.

Also SPOILER ALERT:


I am so fucking tired of short romance novels where the fmc becomes basically immediately pregnant nd then they get married. In real life, that’s how you end up stuck in an abusive relationship and coparenting for life, ffs. Idk about y’all’s experience but it’s not THAT easy to get pregnant while on bc.
