May is a writer. She's on her way to Texas for some research and also to try and find the father of her close friend, Chester. When she gets to Texas, she finds a fan and also the girl's father. The man has a "zoo" of kids, and he's a widower. May starts falling for him, and Henry thinks she's pretty attractive. May is an agnostic and Henry is a Christian, so I'm sure that would've been a problem later on. These two are older than you'd think. If the woman on the cover is 41, (like May), she looks amazing!
I got to about 30% and just gave up. The entire beginning didn't seem relevant to the story, and it went on forever. The writing style was distracting, I had to go back and re-read sections just to figure out what the author was trying to say. Sometimes I still didn't understand.
The relationships in the house were also confusing. With so many people and such unusual relationships, I was lost. Also, May's whole attitude toward the topic of children was just weird. At one point, May said she would only give her heart to a man for one thing: her own baby. She claims she doesn't need a man for anything, "except for making babies." Strange way to say that...She doesn't really consider that she could be a mother to the children already there. Maybe she does later on, but from what I read, she was focused on her own baby.
I usually post my reviews on Amazon, but I won't do that with this one. It's my own fault for picking this up, and maybe it got better later on. I don't think it's fair to the author to post a negative review on a book I knew I probably wouldn't like and didn't finish. Major pass for me.
