If You Lived Here, You'd be Home Now by Claire LaZebnik - 1 star

[Tricia]

I was able to finish it (stuck working the night shift and had nothing else to read). I really disliked almost everything about it. The characters were unrealistic and their stories were completely unbelievable. Not only did I not like or care about any of them, the entire read was predictable from the first page. It required no thought and no effort to read. A total dud.

Rickie is a single mom who chose to get pregnant during her freshman year of college, dropped out, moved home, didn't find a job, allowed her parents to support her and her son (and his $24,000/year private school tuition) while she watches television and acts like an ass when her mom has the audacity to ask her to do things like walk the dog.

But life isn't all awful (snark snark) when the new PE coach decides that he wants to privately coach her son on his Sunday mornings because he's just a heck of a guy. And even though Rickie satisfies her sexual needs in a completely non-committal relationship with her brother-in-law's brother as he flits in and out of town, she decides she desires Coach, too. Who cares that a girlfriend exists.

And don't get me started on the condescending coach that demeans her piercings and tattoos and is patronizing at every turn. Yeah, she needs a kick in the rear but if you find all these flaws then how is it possible that you're so out of control attracted?

I don't know - just entirely without any redeeming qualities from cover to cover.

LOL, okay, I am definitely NOT going to be reading this one. Too funny. How did you decide to pick it up?

Um, I think you need a Kindle so you can bring at least 20 books to read at work, just in case.
