Review of Love Me Like You Won't Let Go by Melissa Toppen


LOVE ME LIKE YOU WON'T LET GO

When her first love, the man who broke her heart into a thousand pieces, comes back home after 6 years, will Blakely give him a second chance like he's come back for? Or has she moved on?


Sigh...I am of two minds about this story. On one hand, the writing itself is good (nice pacing, well-detailed, etc.), on the other hand, I absolutely could not stand either Blakely or Asher. She because she basically cheated on her fiancé, who was really the only likable character in the entire story, and left him on their wedding day!!! He because he was a selfish douchenozzle who left for 6 years and never, not once, contacted her, then strolled back into town and expected her to be just dying to get back together with him. Um no, just freakin NO! So, good writing but awful lead characters means 3 stars is all I can honestly give this one.

Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
