I'm So (Not) Over You
by Kosoko Jackson
I enjoyed this book. It made me laugh out loud a few times and I appreciated how 'real' Kian's narration was. By that I mean all the conversational tangents he took when telling us the story since almost everyone I know does that. So, that aspect of that was accurate as all get out.
I also love second chance stories and think this handled it well especially considering how young they were. While we were never in Hudson's mind, we got a lot of Kian's introspection over "Am I feeling this way because of our past and that it may be convenient or am I really feeling him again?" It usually is a mixture of both but it was still nice to have that honesty in a book.
There were a few drawbacks, such as both men's sheer stubbornness (since that is ultimately what it was) as well as not having previously dealt with the demons (but they were working on it so brownie points there). They were young and admittedly still immature so they had a lot of work to do on themselves and each other. And it seemed they were going to do that so it was positive..
Next part is also a bit of a spoiler so be warned:
I also didn't appreciate how quickly the issue with Olivia was resolved and it really came down to the threat she made to Kian. It's like I'm sorry that this marriage didn't happen after your family spent all this money but first off your family can afford it. And second off if a five minute conversation with a virtual stranger gave the bride the push she needed to not go through with the wedding? The marriage wasn't going to last. If I were Kian I would have made her work to get back into my good graces, especially if she threatened my livelihood.
Overall it was a good book and a sweet and steamy read. I would read more from this author.
