Okay, NGL, this book annoyed me for most of it. I'll admit that it also felt like the book was far too long. Get rid of most of Rachel's judgmental attitude and you'd knock off a good 50 pages at least. I also felt like Love You Wrong was referenced a lot, in a way where you had to be in the know for it to make sense. The lemur thing really needed more explanation. The Alissa thing got some explanation but there's clearly connection we're supposed to buy that I just didn't. The premise had decent potential for a good second chance, but ugh! People annoyed me. Kell was kind of a child about things, but at the same time as he started explaining, you could sort of understand his reasonings. Doesn't excuse most of his attitude but at the same time it lends some sympathy(?) to them. I did like the way he clearly cared for his family, even to the detriment of his own ideas just because he couldn't see the way to do them as Kell vs as Kell Luview of the Luview family. I did like Rachel pointing that out to him though. I also felt like we went from Kell stuck on those emotions/feelings to "I trust you implicitly" a little fast, even with the explanations we got. Rachel was just a judgmental witch for far too long. She's babbling and insulting everyone under the sun when they're in the ER and like, that's really what you want to do when you need help? She was just so oblivious about her words, it was insane. And the whole thing with her public meltdown? Like holy sh*t woman, way to tank a deal by calling a town backwards and everything. On an open mic. And then saying she'd never have said those things if she'd known the mic was hot. I mean, the sentiments were there and I could see it but a)freaking own it and b)maybe stop calling everything backwards because it doesn't match your idea of what a town should be? She got much better responses when she started actually talking to people (literally everyone in town except Kell but that's besides the point). I will say that as she started to realize she'd actually fallen for Luview and Kell, she got better, but that wasn't until 60-70% of the way through and it was just frustrating. And so many of the issues she ran into were her fault. The hose was because she couldn't stop judging someone long enough to let them do a job that she admitted she had no knowledge of. Like, super glue is a pain to get off things, sure, but maybe that's not something to worry about when you've got a damaged hose in your engine? Or when she ran out of the trailer because she was scared of a squirrel. Or the freaking poison ivy incident. Just so many incidents that didn't need to be problems and only turned into problems because Rachel wanted to act like a toddler. Not sure if I would have felt different if I'd read Love You Wrong first...but if that is in fact that order it needed to be read in, then that should have been book 1 instead of 0.5. I am curious enough about other people that I'm going to at least give Luke's book a try and see how that goes.
