Where Would I Be Without You
Often in life, you are given choices. One that is clear, concise, and common sense, the other one, well let's call him TROUBLE for short. You are given these choices to make your life easier as the happy caring gods are smiling down on you thinking, you go girl, here you are, your two choices; we know you will make the right one. Then the blue-sky turns an ominous steel gray full of thunderclouds and lightning begins to strike; gale-force winds begin to blow as you make the wrong choice. It's not like you saw all the warning signs. Blue sky to dark. Lightning. Gail force winds. But hey, if you always made the right choices, life would be one very boring highway. Doing what becomes one, doesn't always make common sense, but it sure makes life fun.

March 20, 2013Flounced at 0% due to 'with all intensive purposes'. That is NOT the phrase. Two more pages full of horrid grammar and punctuation and I called the code.

I enjoyed this book, nice3 reading while you're by the pool. If you can overlook the grammer and all that you will like it too.
Amber Jones is a woman that knows that she needs to grow up and does something about it. She had her fun in her twentys and now that she is about to turn the big 3-0 she has deceided that she needs to make sure mature move in life. Being overshadowed by her sister, she knows that she needs to live her life according to her beliefs and what is right for her. Sometimes life deals you some lemons and instead of crying over them she makes lemonade. Enter Mason, I was glad that they met and got things to work for them despite the little nake misunderstanding with the gal from 6D but then again who wouldn't think the same think that Amber did.
The book was a coming of age for most woman that most wish could make life plans like that and stick to it. Marion is a great bestie and should all be lucky to have a person like that on our team. I just wish the ending went further into Amber and Mason's life.

This was a cute story that can be easily read in a few hours. It is not super romantic or off the charts overly done romance, but the characters kept me involved throughout. Some more substance could have been put into the book towards the end as it did seem a little rushed. Some slight editing errors throughout, but for a free book it wasn't too bad.

The only reason I didn't give it 1 star is that I liked Mason. I hope the author doesn't really know someone like Amber because she is an idiot. Immature doesn't begin to describe her - no wonder her mom was riding her about getting her act together. Mason should get another chance with someone more deserving.
