I Want It That Way by Ann Aguirre

3.0

I believe this might be my first book about twenty something young adults. They get drunk or have sex or both when they are bored, sad or happy. Nothing new so far. No idea about Ms. Aguirre's age, her writing style hints at someone close in age to her characters. I didn't dislike the book but there were times when I kind of rolled my eyes at some of Nadia's thoughts (in italics) right in the middle of the paragraph. I am not an English major, nor is English my first language but for some reason I found it kind of childish. Maybe it is problem for us fifty something when we read books not meant for us, older, 'wiser' folks.

However, Ty, the young father is my favourite character. He is one of the reasons I continued reading. I wanted this sweet young guy to get his chance at happiness. Ty is an amazing father and I applaud Ms Aguirre for showing us that not only women but men can be as responsible, loving and giving as Ty is. Ty had his son as his first priority and convinced himself that there wasn't any room for any other person in his life because of his young son. Max is the other reason I kept on reading. I sensed there was more to Max than the apparent shallowness of his life style and I wasn't disappointed. Shall continue to read the series with the hope that Max will have his own book.
