Such a predictable story

I loved reading, crying and feeling this book. It was well written. I knew what would happen from the beginning, but it still tore me up.

I've liked other books by this author well enough, but this one I just couldn't finish.  The plot was so thin and the characters so predictable, I quit caring about either about half way through the book.  I tried - really tried - to get to the end.  But by the 75% mark, I was done.  So I skipped to the end, and was glad I hadn't invested any more time - for it was as predictable as the rest.

I have a personal policy that for every over-priced book I buy for my Kindle, I must find a book that costs less than $5 to read.  And I've found some awesome ones.  Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them.

This story was so predictable it wasn't funny.  At every turn you know what to expect. I can only say, this book was a big disappointment. Not interested in any more by this author.

Honestly the worst short story I have ever read.  To me it seemed like a person threw this together in a hurry then dubbed them self an author.  There were character references that were incorrect which makes you wonder if anyone bothered to proofread it. The storyline was way too predictable.  Good thing it was free.

I'm trying to figure out why this short story got so many positive reviews.  I'm not saying it was terrible, but the entire plot seemed hurried and predictable.  The ending seemed obvious after just a few pages into it and left huge gaping holes into how a person managed to become imprisoned for years without someone coming to her rescue if for no other reason than compassion.  Strange.

This was so stupid. Very predictable. Full of cliches. It was a very long hour and a half. Waste of time.

Usually I'm a big fan but this book was so predictable and just didn't make any sense. The whole story centers around Miles being Joy's guardian for 6 weeks. Why on earth does he go to so much trouble for a girl he is only responsible for for 6 weeks? And why on earth can't the bad guy wait 6 weeks? All of the bad guy's problems would have gone away if he had just waited the 6 weeks. And then ....... Spoiler alert ....... One they foil the bad guy's plan why would he risk losing the yearly allowance he's been promised and badly needs to get back at Joy? Anyway, avoid this one.

Surprised to see so many great reviews. Sorry, but for me this book was trite, predictable and the writing so simplistic. While it is a tender story and certainly had its moments, it was predictable - and beyond that I would not recommend it to someone who really appreciates literary fiction.

It  was very predictable,  both stories were so much alike and you knew what was happening before it did....

The plot of this book is very predictable. It's just a nice story.

I got this book through an online book subscription service. I was really excited to read this after learning of the premise. Once I started the book, it didn't take long for me to realize that this was going to be one of those simplistic, unconvincing, one-dimensional piles of rubbish (exactly like something you'd find at the airport). I held out and finished it, but every "twist" was so predictable it made for a mind-numbing and discouraging journey. Of COURSE dad dies. Of COURSE girl gets pregnant on the first go. Of COURSE the two literally get away with murder and then the girl gets let go after making a full confession. And OF COURSE boy wakes from his skull-crush coma to live happily ever after with the prodigal daughter.

Barf city. I won't be reading anything else by this author.

I give it to only because I like the characters of Faith and Brad.  the rest was way too predictable.  Should have been a short story, at best.

Story theme is way out there and highly predictable.  I only enjoyed it because my hometown is depicted in the story.

I thought it was awful, super predictable and absolutely no depth to the story, it had a chance if it described the settings and characters a little more. Another story of insta-love and super childish. Mad that I bought it.

I expected this to be much better, based on the reviews. I was disappointed, however. It was an easy read, a decent story, BUT it was extremely predictable, making the biggest plot "twist" completely unsurprising. The author seemed to go out of her way to drop hints about the truth of the twist while still trying to deliberately draw the reader away from that very same reality. It made the heroine of the novel look like a complete idiot, in my opinion.

Way too predictable for me... was hoping for something more original.

Too cheesy and way too predictable!  Glad I didn't pay full price.  So predictable I could skim through to the end.  A few twists and turns in the story line would have made it more interesting.
