I can see how one would want to shake Jillian and tell her to stop being so stupid I felt that way also That was until I started to think about it A lot of woman in the face of a break up have done the exact same thing or worse We can t judge because we have all been there in some shape or form There are things we have said and done that we wish we could take back but the damage is done It was not different for Jillian Nico on the other hand I had an instant dislike for I think that is the way the reader is supposed to feel so Barnes did a good job with this character Could you imagine hanging out with this guy in real life It would be a major snooze fest I doubt someone like him would make it to the 2nd date with me let alone the six years with Jillian Then there is Ben The Bradley Cooper look alike who is onboard with people watching and making up stories about their lives It was love at first read with him Not to mention that he was honorable and kind and funny It was clear from the get go what his feelings for Jillian were This is a story about what happens when things don t turn out the way you thought you wanted or planned and you travel down the road of the unknown Sometimes things be be a heck of a lot entertaining.

Book Mixed signals intelligence I thoroughly enjoyed this story Categorized a romance I would argue this book was about grieving the life you thought you would be living and then finding happiness in yourself Romance played a part in Jillian s story but there was so much to her journey The reader got to see the messy aftermath of what happens when the rug is ripped out from under your perfectly constructed happily ever after. Mixed Signals booking Jillian Atwood was in complete denial as the story started off Her boyfriend of over six years and fiancee of less than a month Nico had dumped her without explanation and moved out She was convinced it was a case of cold feet and didn t want anyone knowing about it believing it would all blow over And so began her journey of dealing with the reality of the break up. Mixed signals mean I found it very telling as Jillian made her way through the story how many memories clearly illustrated why her and Nico might not have been as great a match as she had believed When it came to Nico Jillian only saw the good though Part of this came from learning to love him good and bad But I think a bigger part of this came from outside pressure from society family and friends You aren t getting any younger Better find someone now or you will be alone If you want kids you can t waste any time This was the theme of the messages she was getting from everyone around her This has always driven me crazy because subscribing to this way of thinking means your happiness will always be out of your control and dependent on another person What happens if you don t meet someone Does this mean you aren t deserving of feeling happiness Jillian s friends and family were guilty of pushing Jillian towards a feeling of panic first in settling for Nico though she didn t see it that way and then in trying to get her to date again because after all she wasn t getting any younger It truly interfered with her ability to first grieve for the loss of the relationship Six years is a long time and a breakup after this amount of time can sometimes feel similar to someone dying I didn t like how her friends and family kept pushing her to date again instead of giving her the support she needed to start feeling happy without Nico. Book Mixed signals On the surface Jillian seemed to be oblivious to what was best for her Well into the book despite her anger towards Nico she kept imagining scenarios where Nico would come back and her eventually taking him back I did get frustrated with her at times wanting her to come to her senses but these things do take time When you believe your life is going to go one way it can take time to readjust your view on what your life will be. Book Mixed signals There was an added layer of stress added to the story in the form of a sports radio show that Nico produced airing all of Jillian s dirty and private laundry on the air for laundry I cringed through a lot of it and felt so bad for Jillian I kept waiting for her to stand up for herself Great story 1616507918
