Deep, deep, deep down there is a good book with a good plot in this book. Unfortunately, it is buried under terribly written dialogue, and unnecessary time jumps. The dialogue in this book reads as an unedited first draft. That could have been made to be good if the author or anyone who edited this book read the dialogue out loud. For one, the dialogue jumps around too much and is cut too short. In one scene Erika finds out Craig cheated on her. She doesn’t let him explain, and then for some unknown reason calls him a manipulator and tells him how he has always held her back?? There is no backstory to this. The writer does not delve into Erika and Craig’s relationship enough for you to know that he is or isn’t a terrible person. In fact none of the characters are truly fleshed out due to the time skips. Where almost every paragraph jumps hours or days into the future. Leaving the reader no time to get to know the characters. This causes the reader to become disinterested in the story as there is no connection to the characters, and there is no real live story to route for because Paulo and Erika are never really shown to fall in love - they just somehow are in love.
