Review | 3.5 stars

I have mixed feelings about Worth the Wait. I was pretty excited for Nick and Mia's book. Somethings I liked and some not so much.

I loved how devoted Nick was to Mia from when he very first met her. I liked that they took their time to get to know each other first. I just really enjoyed reading about Nick and Mia's earlier days. Nick was such a sweetheart.

I loved how Nick stepped up and took care of his siblings at the young age of 19. I loved how Mia became like their mom. And I loved how she was with Hannah.

Things I didn't care for...

I hated the lost time Nick and Mia had. I understood Nicks pain, but in the end he should have listened to Mia.

I hated how after they broke up Nick slept with other woman and Mia didn't move on at all. I hated that. It's always the woman waiting for the freaking man. It should have been the other way around or they both could have moved on a little. This was probably my biggest issue I had.

This book is sort of slow. It's not like the other ones. It's told mostly in the present but you will get flash backs of their days together.

Overall, I decided to rate it a 3.5 because I didn't love it nor did I hate it. I hated that Mia was the one who waited the whole time for Nick. I wished she would have gotten a boyfriend or something. I hate when the authors make the woman wait for the man like that. It makes the woman seem pathetic and I didn't think Mia was like that. I loved her for the most part. She was like a mom to Nicks younger siblings. Especially Hannah.
