Judging a Book by it's Cover:
Transparent overlapping layers, watercolor pastel look, sort of vague to the plot, but catchy enough to warrant a closer look. The synopsis sounded light and fun, which sold me on the book.
Looking Deeper:
First person POV, Sarah's POV.
First impressions can make or break anyone or anything and all I could think from the start was that Sarah was really a miserable (+b)(-w)itch who loved to find fault in those around her. It's a wonder she had any friends with the overall general attitude and outlook that she had. She would say she's forthcoming and honest, but she was totally fake to her employers while thinking horrible things about them. She was brutal to Jack. Not a likable character at all. Jack's all grown up, has responsibilities and is quite successful but still enjoys life. The reputation of his youth seemed to haunt him though and he was sick of it being an obstacle. Jack's twin, Pete, is the cliche' Gay Best Friend that she moved in with while unemployed and homeless (yet she still felt the need to belittle Jack because SOMEHOW she was in a better place than him and thought him to be beneath her??). Jack could do a million times better than Sarah and I wanted to yell at him several times for being so hung up on her! Halfway through, Sarah's eyes began to open and she began to see things a little differently, however she still fluctuated from "all about me" to the "woe is me" drama. It made me kinda wish she WOULD HAVE drank the dang Kool-Aid already!
The story lacked any real emotional depth or plot dynamic and dimension. The writing quality started out fairly simple, and shallow and continued along this trend throughout most of the book, up until about two-thirds through. The flow was good. The main conflict was the heroine herself. She was her own roadblock. The reveal and resolution was anti-climactic. Elements of predictability were present, but not overly so. The conclusion is solid and satisfying with a fun epilogue and implied HEA.
