I thought this was pretty interesting. I wasn’t super emotionally connected to it, it was very short. But it was a good representation of real life and not just sugar coated romance. I only give it a 3.25 stars because i like my books to be gripping, exciting, and super entertaining, and this book was not. However that’s okay, it was still very well written and clever concept, that would be really moving and emotional to some, just not me. Strictly romance novels where romance is the only plot are not my thing. I like action novels or murder mystery’s with romance as a part of the plot but no the sole plot.
I didn’t think she should end up with the doctor, because he is too much older, and she didn’t have chemistry with him. I thought she really loved Greg/Aaron. I do like the ending as ambiguity’s, and like she is for fitting control now, since she has struggled with being controlling throughout the book.
