Blurb sold me. Book wasn't as great.
**I'm not sure I read the same book as the others because I don't understand the high ratings??
The blurb and the cover were what sold me! The story started off hysterical then tapered off to forced humor and eye rolls--which I was still ok with because I was looking for a light and funny read.
But 3/4 of the way through, when Jagger makes Magnolia dinner and she picks his brain for her article...who wrote that? It was a completely different feel than the beginning. Jagger did a 180 and all of a sudden he had no more sexual innuendos or witty comebacks? From that point on everything went downhill and I found myself struggling to finish because it was just so insane. "Come use my bathroom. Sleep here. I'll take the couch. We can watch a movie. I'm tired. We can watch it in bed, I'll stay on top of covers. Use me as a pillow." Touch and feel and bam, they're having sex for the first time and spewing I Love You's. Hello??
And what's up with her ridiculous job and finding out Jagger's involvement? She didn't even hesitate with her "I forgive you". Whaatttt?? And don't even get me started on the public sex right before a proposal--with their family and friends! I'm sorry, but the last 25% of this book totally ruined it for me. It was predictable, cliche, and hurried. I really wanted to love this one, but it needs a different ending as well as grammar/errors fixed.
