You know my feelings on this one, I could seriously talk a hind leg of a donkey about how much Travis Maddox needs a straightjacket! :D And the GIF oh lord, cracked me up. I just....I know people enjoyed this, and that's okay because there are books out there that I love and people hate, I know, but I just bleed a little inside when people gush over him. I have a SRSLY??? moment. It's just...not healthy. And Pigeon OH MY GOD. HEAD DESK. WHY? WHY? What does Pigeon have to do with Abbey? Is it her size? Is she such a pain in the neck? Is it because she talks s*** all the time? WHY DO YOU CALL HER PIGEON? I hate nicknames. I really do. I hate baby, sweetie, hun - the list goes on. I'm probably the most unromantic romantic out there. Nicknames like Kitty Kat still annoy me, but hey, at least the girl is called Kate or Katherine or whatever. BUT PIGEON???? <br /><br />Anyways, ranting over. Loved the comments as much as the review, well done for being so honest. I can't bring myself to review this book.

I really liked Jamie McGuire's writing, even though I couldn't stand Abby as a character and I felt like Travis needed help. I mean, I was kind of warned about what I was getting into when I started it so I was expecting a disaster. Both of these characters are awful for each other - that's clear. Since I knew what I was getting into, and thought the story was written pretty well, I'm kind of anxious to read the next one and get into Travis' head. I found him WAY more interesting than Abby. And I think he may be redeemable. Hopefully, anyway. We'll see. <br /><br />LOVE this blog post. Had me laughing!

It seems to be a love it or hate it novel with a lot of divided opinions. I'm intrigued though! Even is it's bad, I kind of want to see for myself, just to see how bad. I never got that with 50 Shades, so I'm thinking BD must have something going for it, haha!

I am certainly intrigued, but don't know whether I'd be able to cope with Travis' behaviour. And pigeon as a pet name? I have to agree with you I don't like it at all.
