First off let me start off by asking, where can I get me a Todd? I love him, just the right amount of cocky and dominant to make for a great leading man.
Beth is described as a girl who has gone through so many things that have had a negative effect on her. I expected her to be very submissive and to have such low self esteem. In reality she does question her self worth, but she's all sass and she stands up for her self too. She's a filthy mouthed doc martens wearing rocker chick, which I loved. Usually the leading ladies are not. Towards the end of the book she really opens up to the reader about her past especially where her family is concerned.
In the beginning we meet JJ, who I thought would be the love interest. He seemed like a nice guy. Then we suddenly meet Todd and everything changes. Beth is trying to live a quite life, but Todd quickly changes that. He forces her to open up and finally allow love in.
Then when things start to look up, everything changes. The book ends with our two characters not in the best place. This is the first book of I don't know how many to come.Over all I enjoyed the ride and really enjoyed Todd.
Now I will say that this book still needs to go through a few more edits. If you can stomach through it while the writer fixes its issues, go for it, if the scattered errors will bug you enough not to finish, then maybe you should wait. I suggest it gets edited a few more times, but the story is great. I definitely want to see what happens with Todd and Beth.
I will say three things confused me towards the end. The story of the robe I would have thought was b.s. he hasn't worn/checked the pocket of that robe since it belonged to his sister/sisters then boyfriend (now husband)? Also at the end was she back at home or still in Dublin when Todd went to see her? Lastly why didn't she bring up the text he got back at his place before their trip?
Over all taking into consideration all the errors and the story I would go with 3.5 start. But, since errors can be fixed I will bump it up to a 4. The 4 really is mostly for Todd.. oh Todd..
