29/5 - This was so full of clichéd situations and over-used romance novel tropes. One particular scene was so ridiculous, I actually don't think I've read a stupider, more contrived reason to bring about a situation ripe for sex to happen. So, here's a summary of this scene of ridiculousness: Tara is awoken from sleep at midnight by her sister's chainsaw-like snoring. She tries to go back to sleep, but decides she's hungry and is desperately craving chips. Unfortunately for her, her sister is a chip-maniac and to save her from chip related morbid obesity all chips have been banned from the house. What is Tara going to do? She needs chips! *Inspiration* What about the 'next door neighbour'? Ford ('next door neighbour') is sure to have chips, possibly because he's a guy. What harm would there be in going over there in the middle of the night to steal a packet of chips? None, none at all. So, Tara gets out of bed, puts on the first shoes she comes across, which just happens to be a pair of high-heeled wedges. There's sure to be no one up and about at 12 am, so there's obviously no need to put pants on. Tara dashes across the 'road' between her house and Ford's boat in her cute wedges, t-shirt and undies and sneaks aboard the boat. Thank goodness there are indeed CHIPS! Tara is mid chip-mouthful when Ford makes his presence known. Sexy times ensue, of course. But you know what, despite all that, I really enjoyed the book. I really liked the dynamics between Ford and Mia, not so much Tara and her sisters. Tara and Maddie seemed distant with each other, and Tara and Chloe seemed to have the kind of relationship that will never be peaceful. These difficulties are probably realistic - I just didn't really enjoy their interactions with each other.
