Break in Two by Melanie Summers
1.0
Add this one to my very small dnf list.
I got 30% in before I just couldn't. The main character is whiny and dwells too much on silly things. She calls herself old at thirty-one, constantly compares herself to other women (because everyone is competition), is immature and petty, on and on. That whole " How dare some other woman be more attractive than me in the vicinity of my boy toy, I hate her!" mindset is so ridiculous and harmful.
Besides throwing herself pity parties and constantly telling her love interest that she is not attractive, fishing for compliments, she intentionally blows things out of proportion and has dramatic fits in his place of business. Super mature.
Not to mention the usual "one conversation between adults could solve all these problems" plot that is so overused and says little about not only the writing itself but the lack of real story. I won't even get into the overuse of useless action paragraphs, like opening doors, brushing teeth, dressing and undressing, etc.
I tried, I really did, but I can't get into this one.
