Only with You by Lauren LayneMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
This book was not for me. Technically I DNF'd it; in reality I skimmed through about the latter 75% of it.
I found the characters, especially Sophie (the main character), a study in contradiction - and not in a good way. She knows she's given the wrong impression to someone, but given many chances to fix said impression, she does nothing. This translated as a predictable, frustrating plot device. No thank you.
This book felt like it was trying to be the literary version of a "Gentleman Prefer Blondes" remake. Sophie was very Marilyn Monroe - ditzy blonde who's dumb like a fox. Again, no thanks.
All around, it just wasn't enjoyable for me. I think it would entertain true romance fans - but for those of us who need some substance and depth to our main characters, it is best avoided.
