I pretty much have the same complaints as last time. I literally spotted the plot twists by page 3. Keyes takes forever and ever to get the point. Just to save myself the time, I skipped the end, read it and put the book down for a week. Boredom drove me back to it. The only interesting bits were when she (Lucy) discovers that her Dad is an alcoholic despite the fact that EVERYONE has already told her so, however Keyes has never develops this and she never says what to the father after Lucy deserts him. Also the fact that her co-worker has slept with her boyfriend is revealed in a lone paragraph at the end of the book. This made me feel shortchanged. This book could have been a lot shorter and more interesting had Keyes actually developed the good parts. In my opinion, Gus comes back far too many times to be believeable and if Keyes intended for us to actually believe in Gus she could have made him just a little bit likable because all along I thought he was a drunk from the beginning despite the fact that it took Lucy the entire book to realize it. The most annoying thing about the book was Keyes, over use of the the term "Er...." to fill space. It can be found on practically every page and ever a while gets to be annoying as shit. I'm sure she still has fans out there, but after this, I give up. I'll look elsewhere for my literary smut.
