Weathering Evan wether or not you should read this book.

Hi don't know why this one got unpublished and I had to do it again sorry if you already read it.

Sorry, everyone, that I have been gone for so many months I did not feel like writing and was trying to find a job and being a bit lazy too. I have read many books since I last posted and plan to write many posts. I hope you will enjoy them. I encourage you all to make book suggestions to me so I know what you all want to hear about. So I thought I start with a book that I did not like. Also, I plan to write another post for my fairytale blog at www.onceuponatime365@blogspot.com 

Tammy Janeway is having some issues. Evan Knightly is at the root of all of them. Of course, it’s not his fault that she has a massive crush on him. But she can’t even be sure he deserves her adoration. One minute he’s undeniably sweet and charming, the next he acts like a creep.

Tammy is tired of feeling like a nervous teenager in her professional life. She knows she’s making a fool of herself in front of the co-worker who is already dating Evan. She knows she can’t stop thinking about him and she knows she wants to. But the one thing she doesn’t know just might be the key to finding a fresh start.



So this book peak my interest first of course the cute title and when you read the book you get the double meaning of it by that Evan and Tammy talk about the weather with each other. My main reason for picking this book is the main character Tammy Janeway just happens to have my real last name. This book was very boring and not just because Tammy's job is confusing and very boring she is an import broker meaning she handles things being ship from one place to another dealing with customs and stuff but still totally not sure exactly what she does for a living. So very dull plus the characters are not all the excited or have any depth to them. Tammy's boss Lily seems a bit demanding like any normal boss and her direct co-workers are just too flat. Frank is a nice enough guy who helped Tammy learn the ropes of the business and Georgia is her friend and a bit too needed and chatty and I totally don't like what she did it the whole problem with the story. 

I mean come on a book that the first sentence is "Does it have a trapezoidal cross-section?" It got me lost in a minute because it sounded like math stuff and I hate math. I'm hoping the author did all the necessary research for this particular and peculiar job she gave her main characters. Anyway, the story is one dimensional no layers and no real conflict or climax and it ended so abruptly. So Tammy meets this new guy named Evan Knightly Georgia tells her all about him because she met him first at a Christmas party. 

The whole diabolical happens when Georgia lies to Tammy about dating Evan but after that first meeting Georgia never really talks about him to Tammy so she gets suspicious about this but never comes out directly and asks her about it. So Tammy and Evan run into each other every now and then when they deliver things to the customs office and they talk about the weather of course. It seems like it would build up to them going out on a date but that never happens. Evan asks Tammy out several times but she thinks he is dating Georgia so she turns him down but wonders why he is asking her out if he was with another girl but instead of being courageous and forthcoming asking him outright what his relationship is with Georgia Tammy just keeps her mouth shut. 

The whole situation just bugs me why can't people just ask the questions. Oh also Tammy is Catholic and every Sunday she attends this group called WOWS some single adult meetings and the leader Jo keeps trying to arrange dates with the ladies in the group for her two unmarried sons. Those meeting for me were the highlight of the book and I'm not catholic but there was not any real religiously parts in this book just woman at first at the meetings talking about what they think is the ideal guy and other stuff.  Also,  Tammy goes and visits her sister Rachel and her daughters at least once a month. 

So the kicker to this book is the ending where Georgia finally admits to Tammy that she lied about ever asking Evan on a date so the whole time Tammy was trying avoid and forget about her feelings toward Evan. So the book ends with Evan exchanging phone numbers and his last words were "You'll be home by 5:30?" Then Tammy goes to the farewell party for her boss and the last thing she says is thankyou to Georgia. I mean come on unless the author plans of making a sequel that a pretty lame way to end a very boring book. I mean the whole discussion suggestion questions at the end are interesting. I did not know Georgia's last name Cozen meant to deceive or trick that adds a new element into the whole story. Also, the whole stereotype about single groups reeking of desperation is something to ponder about. Plus I like the author's decision to answers a few of the discussion questions. I did not realize tell she mentioned that the ladies in the group had the names of the girls in Little Women. 

So for this book that at first seemed a bit boring, there were some hidden nuggets of interesting foreshadowing and literary knowledge. So this book was not totally predictable since I was not a 100 percent sure Tammy and Evan would get together. but the plot, characters, and the ending were a bit of a letdown. I did not see any major grammatical or spelling errors which are good cause I hate when books have a lot of misspelled words or font is off and words do not get separated properly. 

Until next time when I write a review of another book and trust me it won't be a month away.
