Can't Stop Loving You by Miranda Liasson
2.0
What is this book? This was a book with a lot of nothing going on. The main conflict wasn't even that much of a conflict and the only thing that was in the way was Bella. Bella is one of the most un-likeable main characters I have ever read since she seemed to bring the men in her life misery.
I can forgive her lying to Roman when they were teenagers, but as adults, there wasn't really any real reason for them to be apart, it just didn't make sense. She made all the rules and the Ethan and Roman followed said rules, and then she gets mad at them for following said rules, like WTF Bella.
The flashback was also unnecessary since it did not add substance to the story. It was practically telling us the information we already knew and it just felt like a way for the author to extend the story more.
With that said, even with the poor story choices, the writing style of the author was very good. I kept reading the book even though absolutely nothing was happening all because the writing style was solid.
I also think that this book would have benefitted be a YA instead of an adult romance since the main characters acted like teenagers more than adults and it was really weird that the main reason they couldn't be together was because of her dad, even though I understand Italian family dynamics, it still felt wrong that the main conflict is a parent's disapproval.
