“I can't enjoy or support a romance book in which the MMC is a misogynistic jerk. This book definitely needs to stay in 1987.”
“2.5 Stars
This is a case of a book that doesn't really stand up over time. A bit to dated and the characterizations showed it. There were moments where I liked David and Chelsea, but they never really felt like the fit either. They're so different and didn't get on well in their first meetings. It felt like the development of their "feelings" for each other was a bit forced. The relaxed version of David was more agreeable as a partner for Chelsea and much of the center of the book I enjoyed. I liked to see them all with David's kids. But a lot of times the changes in someone's opinion flipped at the drop of a hat and seemed to come out of nowhere. Take Margaret for instance, petrified about Chelsea's influence on her kids, seemingly bent all out of shape and ready to destroy Chelsea at dinner, but two seconds later in the bathroom everything's all fine and we'll work it out. There were a few too many flip flops like that in this story to truly enjoy it, especially when a lot of them happened with our heroes. Overall this is a novel that doesn't hold up past the time period it was written in, and the good moments are outweighed by the awkward. I didn't hate it, but it's not one that will go on my re-read list either.”
