Why? If he was ready for a relationship, okay, but it didn't seem like he knew what he wanted one day and then the next he thought he knew. He sure couldn't get any room to breathe. He was pressured into dating again when he wasn't ready and what was unbelievable was that his little girl was also on him every minute about beginning a relationship. Carolyn needed a safety seat when she rode in her dad's SUV, so I'm thinking she was no older than four( I don't remember reading her age), so how is it this child was able to articulate so well? Except for using the word 'daddy' in just about every sentence (I believe the author was trying to make her sound cute but it became a bit bothersome), Carolyn had good conversation for a little child. But then again, the author could have been referring to a booster seat, which older children use.
There was too much back and forth between David and Diana as to whether they should be dating or if he loved her or not and as I read this story I kept thinking that something was missing; it lacked depth. I couldn't really get into it because it wasn't making me feel much of anything. I also wasn't able to get close enough to any of the characters to even begin to really care about any of them. I'm sorry to say this wasn't the good reading experience I was hoping for, but I believe it could have been. The story just needs work. ]]>
