The story was written in third-person so it made it confusing when it was switching from one character to another. nor am I an author of this book but I can only state my opinion. This story would have been pure love for me if it were written in alternating point of views. Ted thinks he is up for the task until the unexpected happens he falls in love. He can get an excellent college education with just one exception: keep an eye on an extremely wealthy man’s bulimic daughter, Erica. Ted thinks his life is basically over until one day a strange man makes him an offer he cannot refuse. The drunk-driving incident landed him in AA, crushed his leg, ruined his dreams of playing basketball, and ultimately his scholarship to an out-of-state college was revoked. Ted’s life is forever changed the second he crashed his car. (Summary, courtesy of ….sorry it is kind of short it was the best I could do) A seemingly simple task, with only one minor problem: Ted never expected to fall in love. When the wealthy father of a bulimic Manhattan girl offers to pay for Ted’s college tuition, there’s one catch–Ted must secretly keep tabs on Erica. To be honest the story line captured me! It is not every day that you read a book about a young boy hired to keep track of a wealthy man’s severely bulimic daughter. What happens when you mix an alcoholic teenage boy with a bulimic teenage girl? One explosive story! Jake Coburn’s book Love Sick was the first of his novels that I have read.
