My rating:
2 of 5 stars
I didn't like either main character. One was a cheating player & other was a cold bitch. Even so I was going to give this 3 stars until the book ended the way it did.
heh. Glancing at some reviews. Most seem to be describing the baker as a sweet wishy washy doormat who
(view spoiler)[grew a spine (hide spoiler)] and describing Lisa negatively. Lisa, despite being childish and cold in her 30s, had reasons. What exactly is Ashley's excuse for being a cheating player? Mmphs.
re: Ash-hole - with friends like these who needs enemies or something like that.
re: Ashley being a cheating player:
(view spoiler)[
1. She was dating two women at the same time (as in, yes hooking up with Lisa took a really long time, but she did eventually have a date with her, and with Carly (separately));
2. It could be argued that Carly (Carla?) 'knew' that Ashley wasn't in a 'we are girlfriends' stage - based on scenes in the book but;
3. Based on scenes in the book, Lisa was under the impression that Ashley was single;
4. Ashley dates Lisa, they get into a tiff, then Ashley goes on a date with Carly so - even if you can make the argument that Ashley wasn't cheating on Carly with Lisa, you can make the argument (weird, that, based on when the relationships started) that Ashley was cheating on Lisa with Carly.
Or, to make things simple, Ashley sure is a cheating player for being such a 'passive doormat'.
By the way, that's the difference between my player and my player-reputation shelf - one shelves books that shows someone being a player (like Ashley here dating two women at once, despite feeling no feelings for one, while feeling (maybe) something for the other), while the other involves a character with a player reputation (Ashley didn't have a player reputation, so this book wouldn't get on that shelf; oddly most of the 'player reputation' books I've read involve former players who no longer want to be players but have this reputation (reminds me of a MF book I read where someone decided they were going to be serious now and get a wife, but they had the worst (biggest?) rake reputation in England (this book was set back in the 1800s)).
