What Were You Expecting?

When a story is told in first person I really need to engage with the narrator for it to work for me. Sadly, I didn't connect with this narrator at all. That kind of killed the story for me. Though I enjoyed the basic premise - high school sweetheart turns up at college and wants girl back - it wasn't executed as well as I'd hoped it would be. Liz, the heroine, was on the immature side of young, which made for some contradictory thoughts and actions. I had a hard time putting myself in her shoes, so I couldn't really understand why she made a lot of the decisions she did. Though I finished the story, I never really engaged. Not a terrible read, but not a great one either.
