I LIKED it, didn’t absolutely love it, and I see that I am in the minority from most of my friends. It was a nice story, he was nice, she was nice, the friends were very nice. Dad was nice, Uncle was nice�. Have I turned into someone who NEEDs a bit of angst in a book. I don’t think so. Maybe I really need the characters to be older. I am 47, so reading about 18 year olds might just be a bit too much for me. Overall a nice story, Will I check out other books by this author � probably � have read one of her other books and I did enjoy it so, Yes, I probably will.
Overall, I suppose, eventhough this book did have a “darker� theme going through it, it wasl still �

I wish I had a faster way to sort thru YA. I do like it but I am very select.... I depend on reviews but sometimes a review can also be a spoiler for me. Nice job with this Mo...not too much info but clearly get the message.

LMAO poor lamb hahaha
I don't like to put folks off but I don't really get where ALL the five star reviews are coming from. Then again there have been plenty of books out there that I LOVED and others hated..... makes for interesting reading of reviews.
I have my own theory for why people give so many 5 stars but far be it from me to assume.... I think you do a nice job of being honest without being offensive... I like a mix of opinions and look to your reviews often.
Thanks Colette. What to read next? Might do a re-read of a KA book - Knight maybe?
Mo wrote: "Thanks Colette. What to read next? Might do a re-read of a KA book - Knight maybe?"You are welcome ;) I am ashamed to say I have yet to read KA... I always want to and I just know I will love her but i get so distracted by deals and in the moment books I never seem to get to her. Ok...going to stop blowing up your review with my personal convo... Thanks Mo

I know what you mean, but where are all these interesting little more mature women and men in the romance world? Luckily Ms. Ashley writes about them. Why a lamb picture? Is it to make us to think about the young heroine (guys often call teenage girls "lamb meat" up here in the north ... )? Nice review Mo!
Great honest review Mo !!!! Hey did you see the boss in your inbox ???!?!? ❤❤
Nice review, Mo..... Sometimes they are too young but then I've read some amazing series with young characters so I never discount them but I know exactly what your saying. I have this to read so we'll see..... xxYou are so quick, btw!!! xx

Nicely said, Mo. I find myself in the minority with many hyped up books lately, as well. Hope you love your next read! :)

I really liked The Bet.

Nice review, Mo! :)
