Sketch

Sketch

My name is Devin, but everybody calls me Sketch. I opened my own tattoo shop two years ago, and I’ve finally gotten to the point where I’m going to be able to give my wife everything she’s ever wanted. I’m going to be able to take time off and spend a day a week with her. In fact, tonight, I stopped and grabbed some wine, got her flowers, and those chocolates she likes. What I wasn’t prepared for was to be met at the front door by her carrying her sh*t out. She loves me, but she’s not in love with me anymore. What kind of bullsh*t excuse is that? I’ve left her alone too often, I’ve been completely focused on one goal, and apparently she’s sick of waiting. So here I stand. Half the man I was, p*ssed as f*ck, because while I was busy making a better life for us, she was under the impression I was leaving her lonely. I know one day she’ll see what I’ve been doing has been for us, and when that day comes… She can damn well come crawling back to me.

Who knows? But, it ended up being an ok read. But just an ok read. We get very very little POV form the heroine so most of our impression of her is from the hero, who starts the book very angry and bitter toward the heroine. We see nothing of them as a happy couple before, and they have been together for 14 years! The lack of a heroine POV made her quite an unsympathetic character. But as I read, it felt like the heroine just did not matter. Very little POV, and then only a cpl paragraphs here and there, the hero is ALL about HIS dream and how it was THEIR dream and they were both working towards HIS dream. It took till after 30% before we are even told what the heroine did for a living, it felt as if she mattered so little. Then the hero gets all surprised that she has wanted to be a teacher for years, since what had been her wish clearly for having children had been put off. He has been with this woman for 14 years! And yet seemed surprised she had dreams of her own that did not revolve around his career. Even going so far as telling her repeatedly, she did not need to work and even with her telling him she wanted to, he kept telling her she did not need to. So, with the heroine coming across a bit like a spoiled brat, and the hero angry and bitter, the heroine and any wishes or dreams seeming inconsequential, I was sort of thinking these 2 should just call it a day and move on. At one point the hero thinks "Everything doesn't have to revolve around me, the shop, or tattoos" And I was like... All in, I did end up liking it, and being happy for them I suppose. 3 stars, which tbh, it may well be probably more like 2, but as I said above, maybe my eager anticipation led to me being more disappointed than I otherwise would have been.
