Gain Uninvolved Executed By Carey Heywood Print
storyline was good but I don't think Nate's side of the story got enough progression, It was just very much oh she cheated on me, I also think the tense that the book was written in really limited where the book could go, because it was written as if the reader is looking in it becomes very disjointed and just urgh.
I know that this book has gotten some bad reviews for cheating but OMG Imand all I can think is how in the world did anyone get through this book!! to even rate it and complain about the cheating because the cheating part isnt even an issue I mean she doesnt have a committed relationships with anyone! but she has a few guilty moments so maybe the people that ranted on it for that reason took her few moments of caring serious.
.
Anyways its told inrd person and not well, I feel more like im reading a half finished idea of what the story would be like, It started out good enough but after abouti kept waiting for something to happen, . anything really. . like something other than her whining because she wasnt getting her way, And then her thought of how she was hurt by her first love and she would never let thta happen to her again yet that doesnt even explain any further.
.
Ive only skimmed and DNF maybe a handful of books and I dont even care what happens at the end of this bookI feel Ive given it a reasonable amount of my reading time to get me into the story and yet Im just not feeling it so this is a DNF for me.
There are far to many books out there than to waste my time on a book that is less than a meh read.
le puse, pero creo que era un,.
lo primero que no me gustó, fue la protagonista, era un poco, . . que se dejaba llevar mucho por el sexo, y eso me molestaba, además que de tomó muchas malas decisiones,
También habían momentos en los que era mucha narración, solo narración, a mi me gustan los diálogos, y que las cosas se lo digan directamente, no el que él naador diga "entonces, esta persona dijo esto, a lo que ella contesto esto!" y después siguen con los diálogos.
también abbia un problema con mi traducción que la odie mucho, pero por eso no puedo culpar al libro, pero fue un poco muy desagradable.
a pesar de esto, habían momentos en que la historia se ponía buena y me enganchaba, pero habían otros en los que de verdad estaba leyendo por obligación porque quería que terminara rápido.
la parte en la que Becka va a ver a su familia, creo que no lei nada, lo encontré tan, . . sin importancia que pasaba la hoja,
tampoco me gustó que de un segundo para otro, Nate cambiara totalmente su pensamiento de no querer una novia a quiero una novia.
creo que faltaba un motivo mas, . . definido para ese cambio. I give this bookstars! What do you expect I wrote it, I am very excited to share this story with you all, I hope each of you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it, I hope to release Uninvolved in Feb, Exact date to come : I loved reading Him so much I gave this book a shot, I liked it, but I so wanted to smack Becka so much I just wanted to shake her too much, Maybe if I ever had the dilemma of deciding between to men I probably would be able to relate to her more.
I did enjoy it. A quick read. I LOVE everything Carey writes but this is on a whole different level! This story encompasses everything a woman goes through when we try to get over a guy by moving on but just cant.
I feel for Becka because she seems like she genuinely didnt want to hurt Kyle but she also couldnt completely let go of Nate even though Nate was hot and cold all the time.
All I can say is that I want to read more of Becka and Nate! After reading A Bridge of Her Own I was really looking forward to this book and once I started reading it, got through it in one afternoon.
I love how real the characters are, even to the point where I wanted to give Jane a slap to point her in the right direction.
Its got guys you can swoon over and a really unpredictable storyline, I have to admit I thought it was going to end differently!! A brilliant book I strongly recommend! I love this book! Uninvolved is one of my favorite novels! I love how Becka doesn't give up on love! The way she and Nate met.
The cute emails, the awkward 'I should go' Nate keeps saying, This book is one of the best! I do feel bad for Kyle but I am happy they met up to talk.
And I love that Becka has Dave to always have her back! And omg the proposal is the best! Carey Heywood did it again! This novel is amazing! I love it! When you're always talking about the same girl in a paragraph is not necessary to write her name all the time.
The continual repetition of the name makes reading tedious, This is not the first book written by this author, Then why she writes so poorly Uninvolved immediately brought to mind an old Waylon Jennings song called Lookin' for Love.
To me, this song fits Becka perfectly,
I've spent a lifetime looking for you
Single bars and good time lovers, never true
Playing a fools game, hoping to win
Telling those sweet lies and losing again.
I was looking for love in all the wrong places
Looking for love in too many faces
Searching your eyes, looking for traces
Of what.
. I'm dreaming of
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover
God bless the day I discover
Another heart, lookin' for love
Becka is a young, fresh out of college, bar hopper who was burned in love back in high school, leading her to have major trust issues when it comes to men.
She doesn't mind the companionship for the night, but she doesn't want to "like" any man, much less fall in love, Nate is a hot soccer player who is in love with the woman of his dreams, only to be betrayed by his future fiance and his roommate, swearing off any girlfriend forever.
Two commitment phobic people, one young, the other nearing his late's, both burned in love before, and neither looking for anyone until they happen upon each other in the most unlikely place and the attraction is there, whether they want it to be or not.
Yet another Becka that I wanted to bchslap one minute and befriend the next, Becka doesn't want a relationship she just wants to be noticed and picked up by a man, Her superpower is breaking up with anyone who tries to stick around after the fun is over, but then she meets Nate and lightening strikes her heart and her libido.
She immediately is drawn to the hottie soccer player and goes into pursuit mode at once, This is the first time Becka has opened herself up to pursue a possible "like" of any man in a few years, only to be shot down because he has a girlfriend.
To confuse matters, Nate begins to email Becka with flirtations and innuendos that confuse matters for her and draw her to him even more.
When Becka finally gets together with Nate, post girlfriend, I think I'm going to see one of the hottest scenes to light up the pages.
until Nate stops. He stops! Oh, he pleases Becka alright, but he never, . . NEVER lets Becka take care of HIM! What kind of man is this to take care of the woman without regard to his own needs and wants! Do they exist Well, apparently Nate is just that man.
He has to have the bluest balls in history! I have to admit that I just didn't like Nate very much because of this.
When Becka finally starts to feel like something is wrong with her and he doesn't like her, he tells her in no uncertain terms.
. .
"Cause I've only ever fked the girls that I don't like, Becka, "
So he does like her, but he also lets her know that he is in no way shopping for a girlfriend, but if he does in the near future, he will be sure and let her know.
Hmmrf. As if Becka isn't confused enough! Well, the story continues to take off from there with the cat and mouse chase between Nate and Becka.
While waiting on Nate to get his act together and make a move, along comes Kyle, Hottie, tattooed, lippierced, sweetheart of a guy, Kyle, Kyle is completely swoon worthy, and what does Becka do She uses him for sex to boost her own ego, all the while seeing Nate on the side hoping that she will become his "girlfriend.
" I hated Becka the entire time she was with Kyle, She kept telling herself that what happens with Nate doesn't count as cheating on Kyle, She reminds me of the old excuse, "If you wear only socks during the act, then it's not really sex because you have clothes on.
" Pffft. Becka has excuse after excuse to justify her actions, She is so cowardly when it comes to Kyle, prolonging the inevitable, even with advice from her sister and her friends to break up with him to prevent hurting him.
Kyle truly loves Becka, but what does she do
"Kyle made her feel good about herself, he adored her and as long as he continued to do that, she would string him along until Nate either came around or she met someone else.
In her mind, he was getting awesome sex in the mean time, so he really had nothing to complain about, "
Grrrrr . I like Becka one minute, and then she completely does, says, or thinks something so far fetched that I could bch slap her all over again! She is the queen of rationalization.
Anything to justify her actions because of her obsession with Nate, Awww but Karma has a way of catching up, and the trail of lies that she attempts to cover up become exposed in an unexpected way and at the most unexpected time.
Oh, but Nate is no better than Becka, He really did a number with Becka's head by only coming around every month or so and playing on her weakness where he was concerned.
I really didn't like Nate, and I was really angered at Becka for how she let Nate treat her, But through all of the drama with Nate and Kyle, something happened and Becka began to mature, She began to think better of herself, Her selfpreservation comes to the forefront, leading to a strong and confident, albeit broken hearted, woman, until she is dragged down into the psycotic selfdeprecating gutter once again by Nate,
This book is not a dreamy romance or a girl meets the man of her dreams and they fall madly in love and live happily ever after sort of book.
This is a very realistic story of how relationships sometimes really are when you have two commitment phobic people, The back and forth affair, the teasing, the leading on, the onesided attraction, Love doesn't always hit each person at the same time if it did, then life would be perfect, wouldn't it But life isn't perfect and neither is love.
Uninvolved gave me a similar feeling as when I read Avoiding Commitment but without the degree of angst,
Carey Heywood has captured the truth in the workings of love and relationships in real life with Uninvolved, Becka's immaturity was evidenced by the childish game of spinthebottle and stowing of an empty beer bottle that belonged to Nate, At first I thought this made Becka seem pathetic, but then I realized that it was just her maturity level, and only validated why Nate referred to Becka as "Kid.
" My anger toward Becka's desperation for Nate was off the charts, but then I realized that this is exactly how it is in real life sometimes.
In the end, I grew to like Becka again, and after getting Nate's full story, I grew to like him, too, Do we get a happily ever after for these two commitment phobics or for Becka and Kyle Well, there is a happily ever after, but you will have to read the book to discover just who is happy and who is not.

Thank you to the author for supplying me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review, .
