Love Story by Lauren Layne
3.0

This is the 3rd book I've read by Lauren Layne, and this one was by far my least favorite. I liked the road trip and her family, but that was about it. I really disliked that they wouldn't ever just have a discussion about what happened when they were teenagers. I really disliked that she kept having to chase him and go to him. Even when she was talking to her sister at the end, her sister was telling her that she had to go to him and tell him how she felt even though she had literally gone there and told him she wanted them to try again and that she loved him, and he still told her to leave. Then her sister told her to go back over there, and I was just frustrated by it. I'm going to hope that this was just an anomaly and I will keep her in my author list and keep reading more from her.

I know it has nothing to do with the book itself, but the male narrator in the audiobook did a horrible job with the accents. He would've been better to just give them a neutral accent because he clearly can't do a normal southern accent without it sounding like a caricature of a southern accent.
