This is one of those books that’s really going to be hit or miss in some spots with people, myself included. I always shoot for a spoiler free review so my apologies if it’s too vague.
“Well that started with a bang.” That was my first thought after I finished the prologue. Probably not the most PC of puns, but that’s where my weird brain went. But what that really means is that it starts off really strong, short, to the point, and didn’t drag out a bad situation.
Almost all of the rest of the story I enjoyed, it was well written, with what I thought was a good balance of funny, sad, sexy, and dramatic. Although, wow that escalated quickly! (You’ll know what I mean when you get there) And I Iiked that Clementine was a pretty moderate character, not too wishy-washy and not too domineering, a little insecure but not ridiculously so like some characters can be. Sure she’s stubborn, but that’s kind of the point of the story! See it’s in the title! The other characters were pretty enjoyable too. Well not those two, but Colin, Christian, and Paige. I would love to have had some more time with Clementine’s Mom and Colin, I have a feeling they would be a hoot together. And I hope Christian and Paige get their own story, it seems like there’s a lot to be told with them.
The ending though, not that I didn’t like it, but it felt somehow unfinished to me. It seems like there’s some loose story threads dangling around that haven’t been tied up enough to really have a finish? It’s tough to describe but there it is.
(I just noticed that there is another novel “Only In Dreams” which is Paige’s story! Now if only my hopes for winning lottery numbers worked so quickly)
