I will admit that I got a few giggles out of this book. I did feel formAlly having to deal with her father's decline into dementia. Other than that, I don't have many other good points to offer. I forced myself to finish this book. I don't have many DNF's, and I was unwilling to add this one to the list, although I came close 3 or 4 times.

The banter between Dominic and Ally started out ok. It provides the occasional snort. Their ridiculousness proceeded to go on entirely to long. Then I discovered Dominic and Ally's ages, 44 and 39 respectively.

These were not mid to late 20yo's, or even early 30's. These were grown flippin' adults. They were behaving like college students, and I might be generous in making them seem that old. I was tired of Ally's pride and her reluctance to ask for or accept help. The whole situation with working at Faith's was dumb, especially when Ally had other options. I was tired of Dominic's daddy issues. I was tired of the whole damn book.

If I haven't mentioned it before, the book was way too long. I thought it was never going to end. I wanted to give up @29%, 36%, 48%. When I realized I wasn't at 50%, I wanted to throw my Kindle. When I realized I was in chapter 63 and there were still TEN more to go, I was devasted. But, I pushed on until the bitter end.
