I started a buddy read with Miss Dora on this book.
When I started I was super excited about the age difference because it touches close to home. But getting into the story I was the same age as Maddie actually a year younger when I found my older man and I (to my knowledge) NEVER acted the way she did in most of this book. I felt she was naive. Yes I said it NAIVE. She trys to come off as strong but to me she just wasn't. Maybe if she would have stopped acting so young but to me she was just that young and naive. Everyone has stuff to work through in life. If you're given a bad hand, trade it for a better one the best you know how. And stop with the whinning about your horrible life.
I didn't really get the whole hotel thing I mean he had his own apartment for christsake. Oh well to each their own I guess.
Without giving away any major spoilers I will just say that I wasn't impressed with this book. I guess I just prefer a book written for a more mature audience. The first few chapters and the last few were great but the middle was lacking. I think if a younger say 17-21ish girl read this then they would probably love it or even someone who doesn't have experience in the matter. But for someone who is in or has been in a relationship with a MAJOR age difference you will more than likely agree that some of the things going on just isn't true. (IMO)
Leah definatley has potential. I will definetely try another of her books. Just need something with a little more depth. And maybe a lead who I don't want to choke :)
