I just struggled with this book. The blurb on the back does not fully encircle what the story was about... Rory was basically just there as a yumminess and a man with a stutter... The lack of communication about his speech issues was frustrating because that was basically like hiding a part of himself. As for Sam... truly she continued to get hung up on the age gap which was frustating because either embrace or spot with the piece of meat comments either. 

But the kicker ! Seriously! A surprise pregnancy!! As soon as that came into play, I lost interest because honestly the characters lost interest and basically became all about the baby. ALso the cousin's reach was fucking extreme! I understand she was having her only issues... but to be that much of bitch when Sam had been going through the same thing was just shitty.... And I didn't enjoy that this became the full problem and the solution was just..... messy.
