The Author Has Better Stuff Out There

Much prefer _Confessions on the 7:45_, and _Heartbroken_ was pretty good, too. In this book, the narrator is a little too glib for me, though she’s certainly less perky than book 1. The narrative choice to have Ridley talk, occasionally, to her reader makes me wonder what the schtick is: is Ridley talking to an agent? Writing her memoir? A diary? A posthumous letter (and she hasn’t died yet?)? Who is the second-person she addresses? I also think the bed jumping is a little cliché and hard to take seriously. The character claims there is a lot of truth in love-making, but both men prove to be more than they say, and it’s safer to say that sex before really knowing a person just muddies the waters of rationality needed for making good relationship choices.
