Only You by Denise Grover Swank
2.0
Started off real good. Cute and funny plus the two main characters have this great chemistry going on. Unfortunately, it started fizzling out the moment the Holly and Kevin hooked up.
Now that's usually a good thing but it didn't work in this instance because the conflict that followed was weak and was basically caused by meddling people around them. What's even worse was that instead of fighting these people, the two of them basically allowed themselves to be manipulated and pushed around even when they should know better. Really, meddling parents, best friend, family only works when the characters are in high school or college. A time when you're basically dependent on other people. But these characters are in their early 30s. It's not a good look.
Anyway, there were some cute moments but it was outweighed by how much the secondary characters annoyed me.
But don't let my review discourage you though. This is my personal opinion and what didn't work for me might work for others.
