Take a Chance by Abbi Glines

1/5 stars


This is probably one of the few books that I'll give such a low rating. I really just couldn't get into it at all and so it took me much longer than usual and necessary to finish. It may have been that I didn't read Glines' other books with the same characters, but still, any book that's a first in a separate series should make sense.

I don't think there was enough detail to the characters, even the main ones. They were kind of just there. Harlow was probably the most detailed out of any of them. There wasn't any "glue", per se, to any of the characters. They were all like a bowl of loose crumbs.

There wasn't much of a solid plot either. Just, "Oh, I love him/her, I'm falling too hard, oops we had sex I'm in love." No build up to passion, it just appeared out of nowhere. When something new happened, it didn't seem to have anything behind it, so I was just thinking, "Oh. Okay." It didn't pull me in much at all. Seriously, the synopsis is more interesting than the story.

I won't be reading on to book two. I can already tell you what happens. Harlow has a hard time re-trusting Grant, Grant still loves her even through her health problems, they have sex and make up, and live happily ever after.
