Final thoughts
This was weird. It was rocky from the get go and I nearly put it down never to be picked up again but I thought I'd give it a good chance and see how it went. It didn't get better but I did finish it.
I can't put my finger on how its weird completely but; the sex scene felt very much a surprise it didn't build up to it entirely it was like the author went "ah I need something" and it was wedged in there, its built up a little by having her go with him to some gala but aside from that its not enough.
The kid who is a main focus becomes a back burner. I thought you'd see more but instead its a little part of her with mainly Melanie.
Would I read again?: No
Would I read this author again?: Maybe?
