Can't Let Go

Sigh...when I am approached with an ARC offer I always make a point of asking if there is any OW drama or cheating to avoid reading a book I know won't work for me, thus also avoiding giving an author a low rating. Two times in this book the hero Zero blows off Mallory (once on a date, and once when they JUST got back together) to hang out with his ex fuck buddy girlfriend. And he doesn't just hang out. He kisses the ex. Hugs her. Lets her hang all over him. Sit on his lap. All in front of Mallory!! Twice...people. TWICE. Then he legit acts clueless as to why Mallory is upset!! The mind boggles...



I had a plethora of other issues with this one as well. It moved too fast for me to feel any connection between the mains (2 weeks). I mean, the heroine had JUST broke up with her fiancee, and both her and hero acted like toddlers most of the time. (Well, if toddlers were alcoholic whores, I mean). All anyone every did in this book was drink, sleep around, or fight. The first chapter was almost completely repeated near the end of the book. We got zero resolution to the Amanda situation. Like, was she going to be popping into their relationship for the rest of their lives??

Ya, I'll stop there. This one just wasn't great for me. I finished it though, so there is that at least! (lol)
