I give Ms. Coffman 2 stars instead of one because first of all she took the time to try to write a love story and secondly she had the basis of a good story. The problem for me is the way she writes. Her characters conversations are so silly. They don't build the characters personalities. As a matter of fact I almost feel embarrassed for them. The whole character developments left me lacking. I also think it is so completely stupid to assume that we are going to fall for a character such as Lizzie, when she is nothing but a smart mouthed brat. Tavis, well now he was just plain and simple a jerk. He never inspired in me anything but comtempt. If Lizzie was portrayed to be so smart, why could she not see Tavis for what he truly was? Yuk! What a very dull story. I only finished it (truly by skipping over half of it) because I hate to start a book and not finish it.
