Not Another Bad Date by Rachel Gibson

3.0

At first I had this at 4 stars, but then I thought about things and reassessed and bumped it down to 3 stars. There were some things that I just didn't like to much about the "hero". Most of all was the way he acted with Adele. From their first few meetings, I was under the impression that Adele just up and left him alone and confused. Because that's exactly how he acted . . . confused that she disappeared on him. But then, it comes to light that he knew exactly what was going on at the time: his ex-girlfriend ends up pregnant and he decides to marry her. So I'm confused as to why he would think Adele would have wanted to stick around and what would make him believe she'd be happy to see him again. It was all about him and how Devon got pregnant to trap him in a loveless marriage. I was disappointed that he never realized how much he hurt Adele in the past and attempted to make amends. Instead, due to Ghost Devon's machinations, he ends up in a similar situation, blames Adele for trapping him into a marriage she never claims to want with him, and once again makes her feel like worthless trash. Mix that in with all the Devon trying to get to Heaven stuff, and it takes a lot from the book.

However, I enjoyed Adele and I loved reading her story. I would have liked more interaction with her friends from the first three books, though. And I would have liked a more substantial reason for Tiffany accepting Adele at the end. But for the most part, the book was pretty good and though rushed, the ending was happy.
