Lastly, the final 20% of the book was a big block of cheese with a side of cheese puffs. Those were great, and I liked seeing Drew’s POV but it didn’t add to the story, just took up book space that could’ve been used to describe the twist more. Where’s the detail? Where’s the emotion? Then I’m treated to past/present POVs inserted randomly into the second half of the book.

She threw the twist at me then immediately jumped into a 6 year gap. For me, I fell in the “I hate this plot twist” category, not necessarily because it was a bad one, but because the author didn’t do it justice IMO. You will either love it or hate it depending on your interpretation of the story. And let me tell you, this will be the make or break for you. Then around the halfway mark, a plot twist finally happens. Up to 40% into the story and I can tell you exactly what happens: have sex, eat, work and repeat.

It was obvious he was hiding a gigantic secret from Becca and even though he cared for her, he also held up a wall between them at all times.Īt this point, I was thoroughly bored with the book. To Becca, Drew is THE ONE.īut for Drew his feelings were a little ambiguous. To the dismay of Becca’s parents, she gets in a relationship with Drew and spends most of the summer with him when she’s not busy with schoolwork. At a party her best friend invites her to, she meets Drew Bryant and they’re both immediately attracted to each other. Having grown up in a family with overprotective parents and a wild younger brother, her parents’ hopes and dreams are always pinned on her and so she never stops striving for perfection in school, leaving her zero time for a social life. Twenty-one year old Becca Keeton is a sheltered and shy college senior returning home for the summer. If you are in the mood for a story that is on the surface, lacks depth and quality, and has twists & revelations that are totally out of the blue and are there for shock purposes only, here’s your next read! The premise is a solid one (can’t give it away without spoiling the storyline) but falls flat because of the underdeveloped plot and book structure. In fact, I wish I could rewind time and take back the few hours I spent on reading this book. And since I’ve read books from this author before and liked them, I know this author is awesome.
