As crazy as the concept of getting together with your sister’s ex six months after they broke up, I don’t feel like the author is showing how Amerie is jealous of her sister, worried about Janelle stealing Arnold back, or seems concerned that Janelle has feelings for Arnold at all. I’m about 20-ish % of the way done with this book and I still have no insight into how Amerie sees herself, Arnold, and….

The sister’s motives and actions make sense now and Janelle coddling her makes sense too, but the mother and father are trash. Any mother who would treat their child this way ain’t worth a damn and any father who would “let them work it out amongst themselves” CAIN’T be calling himself a good father either.

Rome reminds me of Taming Kane but human. At least, Taming Kane was consistent about how the story and characters were presented. Their characters actions and words made sense for who they were and the joining of the main couple made sense from what was presented to the reader. Only for the Week has good bones, but the meat is stringy and tough.

Given what she’s dealing with playing with her pussy is not the answer.

4 minutes of audio given to both their careers and community work that they’re “passionate” about
Very little given to the friendships that both Janelle and Rome have.
What ever problems come to our lives, we can sex it out.
And what is with the detailed description of her clothes, but not the background that let them go this far this fast?

I feel like this book is struggling to be consistent about the level of depth it wants to give to the characters & its romance:
“When she first told me her plans for [her business idea to help the community and advance herself professionally], I told her it was a brilliant idea. We’ve talked about it a few times on the trip.”
Then SHOW us!! The depth the writer tells us is there is missing scenes like this^^

I appreciate the author sharing with us but her opinions on romance books shes read (via her characters) are out of place, but the emotional, romantic development of the main pair is LACKING.

I want to let myself stay immersed in the story, but I feel like the author can’t decide what level of depth she wants her main characters to have towards their plot and their own thoughts and feelings.
Janelle should be asking questions about how he really feels about her and the past 2 years. Renting a yacht on day 3 (or 4) of a situationship is different….

…and Janelle now as they approach the wedding given their shared histories.She doesn’t seem to feel she’s done anything wrong. In fact the only people who have discussed the fact that Arnold wants sister and is bearing a new one and how Janelle may feel about all of it is Janelle and her mother, and Janelle and Rome. There’s no mention of past conversations just the fact that Arnold let Janelle know that he was proposing to her sister. Like I said Amerie is trifling and we’re seeing more of that with the way she communicates and doesn’t communicate with Janelle, but we have no context for what lead to this situation. What happened between Janelle breaking up with Arnold and Amerie getting with Arnold?
