pahinik 's review for:
One Baby Daddy
by Meghan Quinn
This book went from being a solid 5 stars to a weak 3. Adalyn was just so fucking stubborn and mind numbingly stupid. And we are just supposed to roll with a maybe two-sentence explanation about the hangups about love? Her devolution made ZERO sense, esp after all the time she talked so much about finally seeing her own self-worth. They spent so much time building a foundation and all of that crumbled all too easily and it really did not make any sense. She just insisted on being blind and stupid.
1. She actually left him without communicating (he was also being a douche so I guess this is forgivable?)
2. She did not tell him she was pregnant, which is a HUGE no-no. You have to be a truly vicious or bitter type of bitch to do that, which wasn’t what her characterisation built her out to be so again, this was mindlessly stupid.
3. She let Logan do everything for her. How was she so blind to all his ickyness??? Again, not the headstrong, fierce, smart character she is made out to be in the few half of the book.
4. Choosing to move to LA and LET LOGAN LIVE WITH HER??? What the fuck??? I truly have no words at this point and I actually felt terrible for Hayden at this point because he really shouldn’t have to fight so hard for her when really, she was being the dumbest idiot on the planet.
5. Insisting, over and over, on keeping her distance from Hayden? The thing is, her background and personal history with men isn’t fleshed out nearly enough for all her supposed hangups to feel justified. We don’t even meet or hear from ANY of these men in her life in all this time!!! Men who, via their influence over her (which we know from passing remarks by Adalyn), are the reason she insists on being a dumb bitch.
6. (Not really an Adalyn rant but...) The car crash at the end was just wayyyyyyyy too over the top. Completely unnecessary and major eyeroll-worthy. At that point, I was barely skimming because I was so done with the ridiculousness of the book.
All in all, this book was truly disappointing. It started out SO WELL!!! I was truly excited to read and both of them had phenomenal chemistry and I made up my mind to give is 5 stars because it was making me so happy! And all of Adalyn’s idiotic, unnecessary, and ridiculous decisions just completely ruined the book for me. I don’t really know what to blame except bad writing? Or rather, lazy writing. It feels like the author stopped enjoying writing the book and just wanted to finish it off while also being so terribly uninspired that they just threw in whatever would remotely make sense (spoiler alert: none of it makes sense).
