GRR Review: My First by Melanie Shawn

My First by Melanie Shawn featured some very confused characters who seem to be just being stupid, but the flirting scenes and the rest of romance somewhat compensated for it.

Katie Lawson left her hometown behind after her boyfriend Nick's funeral. She threw herself into her studies to be a lawyer and was about to make junior partner 10 years later when she was summoned back to town to her sister's wedding. But she can't face Jason Sloan, the boy who had teased her since... first grade, and something happened... The thought of seeing him again sends her into a panic attack. Jason has a reputation for being a ladies' man in town, but he's still single. As Katie's back in town, she recalled her life in town and wondered what would life have been with Jason? 

I find the character of Jason a bit TOO saintly, basically pining after Katie for TEN YEARS, but he can't leave. Whereas Katie left behind EVERYTHING (you'll have to read the book to see why) pretty much on a whim, and basically was oblivious to Jason (or pretending to be). There seem to be quite a few plot threads left dangling.  The initial pace was also a bit slow. This was not one of author's better works, IMHO.
