My Favorite Mistake (My Favorite Mistake, #1)

by Chelsea M. Cameron

[Rowena]

It was really hard to connect with Taylor. She has issues that made her the way that she was but it was really hard to like her because she was such a hypocrite. She had this secret that she would not talk about. She wouldn’t talk about it with Hunter and Hunter let her keep her secrets but did she give him the same courtesy? Oh, no. She kept prodding and prying and getting pissed off when Hunter refused to talk about it. She pressed so much that when things blew up in her face, I wanted to punch her. To be honest, I didn’t see what there was to like about Taylor. Her attitude and the way that everyone had to tip toe around her and her issues in their own house made me mad. And I hated that she was so violent with Hunter. And I hated it even more that Hunter just let it happen. The things that she did to him when she was angry was not okay. Her secret was a violent one and that she dealt with her anger so aggressively and so violently made me ashamed of her. I will say that she came a long way in the end but even after all was said and done, I don’t think she deserved Hunter.

Overall, this book was a solid story but the characters and their actions throughout the story pissed me off for a good portion of the book. I liked getting to know Hunter and Taylor’s roommates and I really liked meeting Hunter and Mase’s family. I would have liked to see more page time devoted to explaining why Taylor hated her father so much. I mean, we get the jist but it would have been nice to see that fleshed out more and resolved nicely.

While there were things about this book that I didn’t like and characters that got on my nerves, I am curious to read the next book in this series. I wonder who’s story it’ll be.
