We get it this character had a secret love affair and secret baby, this dude is a famous NHL player and a billionaire, these characters had marital issues. YESSSS I get it stop repeating it everytime you mention their names!
Very boring, forgettable characters, and glad its over. ...more
I ONLY finished this bc it’s almost the end of the year and I don’t have time to pick up books then put them back down if I want to meet my challenge.I ONLY finished this bc it’s almost the end of the year and I don’t have time to pick up books then put them back down if I want to meet my challenge.
This was horrible. I hated that he talked badly about his dead wife the entire time, I hated that she got mad at him for literally doing his job, I hated that he explained his actions before she even got mad at him but then got mad at him anyway and didn’t put two and two together, I hated the random million characters that came up that i had no idea how they were connected to anything. More so, I did not care about them. If the novel is going to be that short maybe don’t introduce 20 side characters. Ridiculous.
Dialogue was awkward, stunted, and stupid. As was every single conflict in this story.
But hey, one step close to completing my reading challenge. ...more
Full disclosure: I skimmed the last like 10%. This was horrible. Horribly written, horribly undeveloped characters, horribYess, finally finished this.
Full disclosure: I skimmed the last like 10%. This was horrible. Horribly written, horribly undeveloped characters, horrible plot. How can a lawyer not read her own will? And she never did, mind you. This was soo dumb. So many plot holes, so many things said way out of character. So many random Shakespeare quotes thrown out there where it doesn't even make sense. AHH SO GLAD TO FINALLY FINISH THIS.
This is what I get for wanting a quick 200 page read to get my book count up for the year. ...more
Since this book is so highly rated, I feel it is kind of like my duty to bring everyone back to reality.
I agree with what the other "2 star rater" saiSince this book is so highly rated, I feel it is kind of like my duty to bring everyone back to reality.
I agree with what the other "2 star rater" said, the plot is really captivating and interesting and I really looked forward to this book but it's so....awkward. The 'dramatic' scenes are random and lose their effect quickly. I rolled my eyes more than once throughout many of them.
The romance is very direct and awkward and badly written, and the religious scenes come off as silly and shallow. The emotion of those kinds of scenes is not properly conveyed it's just thrown in the book because it's the right thing to say or do but the author doesn't build anything up. That's the problem. Nothing is built up.
The characters are all very interesting and their backstory is great. I with the author spent more time developing the characters instead of putting in stupid, badly written drama.

This was sooo boring and the resolution was so eye roll worthy I couldn't even handle it.
The main character is not very admirable and everything was wrapped up in a bow for her in the end with no work or communication from her even though all of the "drama" was caused by lack of communication from her. ...more
