I'm really sorry that you chose not to continue reading the sequel to TUC. A lot of people weren't happy that Hal and Stacey haven't currently ended up together (is still possible) but they understood the reasoning. I'm just saying that if you had read on you would know that the guy in the first chapter is not a love interest as like Stacey, he is into men. People may have not been happy but there isn't always a happy ending. What if there's a better guy than Hal? People are already taking a liking to 'Gaston' and how he chooses not to currently pursue Stacey. Anyway, sorry to disappoint :) I will have a new ChickLit/Romance book beginning soon if you're interested, an entirely different story that will overall be significantly more meaningful than TUC. I'm not saying TUC wasn't but I wanted to have fun with a story and I did. Okay, bye! :)
