I have read at least a dozen books by S.E. Smith and have enjoyed them all, but I just could not finish Choosing Riley. The h was so obnoxious. No one actually acts like that in real life, even if they have been kidnapped to a different planet. She was so mean and rude and talked to people like they were sh*t. I just could not listen to anymore of her mouth. She was a smart a** in the worst way. Not charming or witty, just rude and mean. I could not believe that someone would actually act that way, or that anyone would find her antics attractive. The story itself was interesting, and I will try other books by this author, but I just cannot finish this one, no matter how hard I try. So disappointed.
