It definitely has a Young Adult feel to the simplistic way it was written but I really hope no teen ever picks up this book. Dan, Cynthia and Sky set a HORRIBLE example of what a healthy relationship looks like. Stalking, cheating, and manipulation isn't something that needs to be equated to romance for teens.

As for the flow of the story, I didn't mind the bouncing between story lines too much, especially since the author does bring all the characters together everyone once in a while. However, I do think the story would have benefited from more attention on one story line rather than the sporadic updates.

I agree to this completely. Although, I'm half way through reading it but still it seems quite like it.maggi3 wrote: ↑02 Jun 2019, 01:25I wonder if the childish characteristics were intended to make him more relatable to younger people. It didn’t work out that way, though. I thought he came off as creepy and a bit obsessive to be honest.heatherashley7 wrote: ↑01 Jun 2019, 17:08 It also bothered me how one minute Sky was the perfect gentleman and than the next was more like a childish teenager. Example, calling himself "sugar daddy", and then upon meeting again in Glenn's office rushing to her and kissing her hands. I'm not sure about you but that does not scream manly, much less someone of high importance in the military.
Overall this book seemed like a good read for a teenager, minus the whole pregnancy and miscarriage.
What are your thoughts on Sky's multiple characteristics?

The book does not have a flow at all. I waited for a climax and it had none. I was dissapointed by the book. Cynthia and Sky's characters were very conflicting. And why was the book named Cynthia and Dan after all? OK if the writer wanted not to give too much detail about Sky, she should have named it merely Cynthia!heatherashley7 wrote: ↑01 Jun 2019, 10:14 Admittedly I am only on Chapter 6, but is anyone else having a hard time with the flow of the book and the development of characters? So far I feel as if the author is jumping around in the plot. She is not providing enough back story or detail to really make me vested in the outcome. The character of Sky is very disappointing to say the least. One minute he sounds like a proper english gentleman, the next just your average guy looking to sleep with someone. Am I the only one who feels like this?
Hopefully this book will get better!
