At this point, the heroine just comes across as obsessed and completely lacking in self-awareness. I honestly want to smack some sense into her. I can't believe I'm still torturing myself by continuing this book. I you also get stupid like the heroine as you read this book. 😂

“It didn't bother her that he had been in love with Karin. She had always known she was better suited to Alex than Karin was.”

The heroine must be delusional. How can she confidently declare that she's better suited to the hero when he's been in love with her sister for years? She doesn't get to dictate who's the better match. That’s for the hero to decide, not her. 😭

For a heroine who's supposed to be smart, she isn't so smart after all. I just hate it when a character pines for someone who doesn't like them—especially for years. Imagine that. What's there to pine after if he's in love with your sister?
And it’s as if the man is worth pining for anyway. The brother is so much better. The better man.

I just don't understand why the heroine’s clinging to someone whose heart seems to be elsewhere. To me, continuing to pine after a man who clearly prefers your sister doesn't come across as romantic, it comes across as a lack of self-respect. I hope the story gives the heroine some growth because, at this point, it's becoming frustrating to read.

I'm on page 132 of *For All the Right Reasons*, and I'm struggling to understand the heroine. She's still pining after a man who quite obviously has feelings for her sister. Meanwhile, his brother has openly admitted that he likes her and has been consistently kind and attentive toward her.
