The first 80 or so pages of this book were kind of miserable. The best way I can describe it is that the characters, who are supposedly adults, were written like 12-year-olds. First of all, I have no problems with a lack of swearing. That being said, if one of the most important events in the book involves the words bitch and fuck, but those words are replaced with beach and duck because the author apparently is horrified by these words…don’t make that part of the plot? It was very amateurish and took me out of the story with the moral high ground of refusing to actually write such (apparently) vulgar language. And that’s one thing to not want to swear, but then when we also get a sex scene later on? It felt at times that the book was written by two different people, and the better writer was certainly responsible for the later half. But I haven’t even started on how childish Aly (literally named Allegra…) and Wyatt acted towards each other. Literally refusing to discuss financial matters as the executor of a will? Putting down god damn blue tape all over the house to prove a point? It’s pathetically childish, but in a way that wasn’t believable at all. The story did get better and more enjoyable, but dear god was that first part awful. It really tanked my opinion of the book.
