Romance Gone Wrong...,
This review is from: Too Close for Comfort (Sweet Dreams Series #31) (Mass Market Paperback)
"Too Close for Comfort" is, unfortunately, one of those novels that is a bit too boring and takes itself a bit too seriously to be especially likeable; but, it does have some nice moments and even the predictably dissatisfying and unrealistic ending isn't awful, in the context of the plot as a whole.
Narrator Andrea "Drea" Mallory is in a bit of a bind. After dating a string of bozos, she finally opens her eyes to the possibility of a romance with her BFF and next door neighbor, Derek Sebastian. Naturally, it wouldn't do to bring Drea and Derek together and let them live happily ever after, so of course it turns out that Derek is a lousy kisser who acts possessive and clingy and stifles all of Drea's big dreams of becoming a marine biologist and traveling to Europe, and Drea finds herself increasingly drawn to fellow "save the whales" junkie Sam Hennessey. If these were real people, Derek and Drea could probably not actually go back to being "just friends" after declaring their undying love for each other mere weeks earlier; but this is Sweet Dreams Land, so characters who act like real people are certainly not a prerequisite. The premise itself is not terribly unrealistic; I'm sure there are plenty of good friends who try dating and wind up breaking up - but that doesn't mean it's a good plot line for a romance novel.
