Jilted is an enjoyable read. I was attracted to it because I'm a sucker for best-friends-to-lovers stories. They're usually very sweet and toe-curling, and I think Jilted had a bit of that.
I would have loved to have read more about Amy and Brett on the dance floor. I think them training kids to dance could have made a lot of sweet scenes between the two.
Vanessa, the fiance who jilted Brett, was pretty inconsistent for me though. She first appeared vapid, what with her giving Amy the evil eye when they first met and then throwing a fit when Brett spent an evening with his best friend. But later, on her last appearance in the book, she seemed a lot nicer. I don't know, that was the vibe I got from her. Maybe it's in the way the scene was written..? It was the perfect time for her to flip out and be nasty, but she just appeared meek. I also thought it was very abrupt the way she backed out of the wedding. There was not enough story built up leading to that event, in my opinion.
But overall, it is pretty good. I'd recommend this on a lazy day, and you only have like three hours of free time to kill. It's a feel-good story, there's no annoying angst, and it ends with an HEA. :)
