Review
| It's an interesting, lighthearted, romantic, and fun to read story. I liked it. Beginning was good, story got even better after that but the ending wasn't quite perfect, overall a good reading experience although not a great one. Lisa and Matt start as a one-night stand but then neither of them is able to stay apart. They don't want a relationship either so they decided to take one day at a time and see what happens. They have both been in bad relationships and have trust issue. Matt also have other reasons for not making any commitments. Soon they become more serious about each other. Now they must spend time to get to know each other if they want to continue this non-relationship relationship. The story is also about Lisa's friends. A bunch of girls who are close and spend a lot of time together. We meet them in this book and probably read about their romances in next books in the series. They are interesting characters and I hope their stories are even better than Lisa's. The fact that story starts after Lisa and Matt have already met doesn't bother me much but I must say that the was whole situation with Matt's ex-wife and son has been explained leave something to be desired. And that's the only reason I gave it a 4 stars rating instead of 5. |
