This wouldn't annoy me if this book hadn't come highly recommended from 5 out of the seven people on Amazon. If I'd found it and given it a chance, so be it. But it was recommended to me by someone and then confirmed by 5 star reviews. But I have no idea why.
First of all, she, like every other curvy girl I've ever read about, has the self esteem of the ugliest pancake. You know, the horribly misshapen one? It's just upsetting at a certain point because she never actually gets over it, just continues on forward.
And she's horribly selfish and unlikable. This Navy SEAL of your dreams comes home, tells you you're in his prayers while he's overseas doing god-knows what and possibly dying, and you say nothing to him. Because...? No? No reason? Ok. That's fine, I guess.
And there are more than several opportunities for her to stand up for herself and she doesn't. Not at all. And they just pick up where their own crushes ended when they meet and have to put no effort into rediscovering each other. Relearning each other. But the worst part about that is I'm actually not sure this character is a different person since turning 17.
You may think I'm too harsh for a smut book on Amazon. But I believe firmly in holding yourself and your books to a standard. A standard I want upheld because if I pick out a cute book like this from amazon, I expect just that. Not what I got. Read at your own risk.
