Has So Much Potential
Victory (Tory) is 32 years old, unmarried, and lives at with her father. When her dad allows a film crew to shoot part of a movie at their home Victorys world is turned upside down. It's made even worse when she realizes that her father is trying to fix her up with the star of the movie Noah. Parts of this book literally had me laughing out loud. I really really wanted to like this book and pushed through all the crap. But it got to a point (about 70% of the way through) that I couldn't force myself to read another word. The book is written in from three different povs. Victory's POV is first person. Her fathers is third person. Noah's is first person (emails to his sister). It's extremely irritating. There is not a single likable character in this book. Noah is the only one even tolerable. The Admiral (Victory's father) has absolutely no social etiquette. He says whatever he wants with no regards to anyone else. The way he talks about his daughter is absolutely appalling. His girlfriend is just as bad. Victory's two best friends are so clique it's painful. Noah is just plain out boring. Not to mention the fact that the first time he has sex with Tory, she is drunk. I can't understand how any romance author would have had Noah talk about Tory's weight with his sister. It made him look like a dbag. Now to Tory...... She is an alcoholic with low self esteem. She treats her father like crap because he has a girlfriend. In stead of dealing with tough situations she gets drunk. She is drinking in every single social situation. Its hard to find a point in the book when she isnt drinking, thinking about drinking, or hung over. Her drunkenness was the final straw for me. It was constant!!! Several times in the book rude comments are made about elderly people. Making rude comments or thinking them about the elderly is just wrong. It's not clever or funny.
