BLURB:
A rebound isn’t supposed to last. Though, sometimes, fate has other ideas.
It wasn’t supposed to happen this way.
I started planning my future at the age of six. I knew the college I wanted, the career I needed, and the boy I would marry.
Only he wasn’t supposed to break up with me in such a spectacular fashion. Now, I’m tossing my planner and breaking my rules.
First up: Pacey Ziglar.
Too bad I fell for my rebound along the way
I never meant to say yes.
I know exactly what Mackenzie Thomas wants when she asks me out on a date. She won’t be my first no-strings-attached relationship, and if things work out the way we both want, she won’t be my last.
Yet the more I get to know her, the more I want her. But she’s not looking for me to be her forever.
And when the past comes back for both of us, I’m afraid forever might end far too soon.
My Thoughts:
Mackenzie is trying to adjust to something new. Pacey makes an offer that may come back to bite him. While reading, I felt like I was doing a disservice to Pacey. I so wanted to hear a British accent from him but my mind only hears my own voice.
Although it’s been a long time since I’ve been in school, I think the author has done a good job at showing the reader how the characters were processing things. She shows how they’re still trying to figure things out. Then we have the awkwardness that some people have when they venture outside their comfort zone – I could picture what the character was feeling about themselves as well as others. Our author was equal in how a lot of her characters had issues instead of focusing on just one – makes it seem more believable.
I found myself gravitating more toward Pacey in this story. As I was reading, I felt everything would turn out all right for Mackenzie. But after what Pacey said at the beginning of the story, I had to see where this story was going to take him – not because I can’t do an accent. It was like a soap opera, and you know how addicting they can be, I had to know where his story was going. Plus, I had to make sure there were no cliffhanger endings. But there’s a twist so then I know my body’s not getting out of the chair anytime soon. Then I have the problem that this series isn’t over yet so I will try to wait patiently until the next book comes out.
