Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

***1.5 STARS*** This book helped me justify my KU membership. I am soooo mad I paid for this. The thing is, I did everything right... I read the sample (liked it) and read the reviews (everyone else liked it). Decided it was worth my money to purchase. Big mistake! I give it one star because I actually like the writing style (meaning the actual cadence of the words on the page, not content, or lack thereof). Another half-star because the chapters I read in the sample were cute. But the lack of any kind of story and the underdeveloped characters prevent me from being able to even give this a full two stars. There is so much in this book that doesn't make sense, too much to go into. But, ironically, my biggest problem with this book is asked by the heroine herself... "'Why do you love me? I'm a college student and you're... you! You're a doctor with a trust fund and a fancy penthouse. You're cultured and associate with people who host charity events or sit on boards of companies. You have a housekeeper, Luke. I do my laundry in a coin-operated machine that I share with a hundred other students.'" YES! GREAT QUESTION, SOPHIE! I was wondering the exact same thing since you have no enduring qualities and the two of you have absolutely nothing in common. Let's see how Luke declares his love... "He tilts his head a little as he listens to me, then backs me into the brick wall of the store we're standing in front of and drops his forehead to mine and shuts me up with a kiss." WAIT, WHAT?!? No, no, no. Pleeeease answer the question, Luke. Otherwise this whole book makes no sense and I just wasted my money and time on foolishness. Luke does not answer that question then OR EVER. To be fair, it's not clear why Sophie him either. Again there is SO MUCH wrong (Sophie's random hatred for her mom, the acceptance of Luke's parents by both Luke and his sister, the cavalier handling of an almost-sex crime, the way Luke talks to Sophie, her not having any plan after college, weird subplot with an ex and "infertility", an unexplained pregnancy, etc). But those few lines literally sum up the whole book. You're welcome for the money I just saved you.
