Una decepción .

Robert , el interés romántico tiene una obsesión que resulta más perturbadora y delirante que las de la media normal de los protagonistas masculinos de NEW ADULT . Hubo varios momentos suyos muy WTF??????!!! que realmente son inexcusables y más propios de un enfermo mental que de un héroe romántico .

Le doy 1.5 porque a pesar de ser bastante terrible la trama , la autora tiene una forma de describir lugares y amistades , que invitan a un ambiente cómodo y te hacen sentir como en casa .

Muchos chistes graciosos y divertidas escenas familiares (así como también un par tristes que se acercan bastante a la realidad ) . ( )

1.5 stars. I don't know what the hell happened with this book. Actually, I do. The MC male was so off-putting that I couldn't understand the MC female's attraction for him. She was fairly irritating too. Robert was a bullying creep to Lana when they were children but she's harbored an attraction to him. All grown up and off to embark on her Ph.D program, she stays with BFF Sasha (Robert's sister) whom Rob has moved in with temporarily as his girlfriend Kara has put him out of his apartment. Apparently, attraction is rekindled and the mance happens. Let me just say that Robert never came across as one who was truly sorry of guilt ridden about the torment he inflicted on Lana. He gave a perfunctory apology and though it was enough to make her heart sing, it did nothing in the way of giving me a reason to root for these two or like Robert one iota. Lana even made excuses for Robert's bullying ways. He has Daddy angst in the box of pain he carries around. I. Don't. Care. Guy was a jerk and so he earned this book being tagged with "Hero such a jerk I don't care why". Because basically, nothing I was given here, explains it sufficiently or excuses it. I couldn't even work myself up to hate Lana because I just wrote her off as too ridiculous to begin with so when she ceases to take care of her health because she's in "lurve" I just didn't care. He wasn't worth all this angst and she was a twit.

I'm glad I got this out of my TBR pile but wow do I wish I could get those hours back. Thankfully, it was only hours & not days I wasted. I don't recommend this one. Pass. ( )
