I’ve finished this book within 2 days, yeah, but that’s doesn’t necessarily mean it was great. In the beginning most of the time I was confused about every person who appeared because the female protagonist always referred to them only with their first letter of the persons first name. It’s been so frustrating sometimes because you didn’t even know who she was talking about. Spoiler alert, there are a lot of names who start with the same letter...
But there are also a lot of cute scenes and some who I loved reading about. Mason is actually a pretty good guy even when he doesn’t seem like it, yeah usually storyline and it wasn’t bad. I even like him, but it’s not like he really caught me. Kayla is a strong and witty female which I love, but I didn’t feel a connection again. Both of them are supposed to be relatable, unique and great characters you should adore. I couldn’t tho and I can’t even say why, there was just missing a special „vibe“. Kayla also had so many secrets and sometimes I didn’t even understand her and couldn’t relate because not much hot explained so how am I supposed to relate? Around 80% I just wanted to get it over with, their feelings developed so fast I’m surprised i didn’t get whiplash. They went from „who’s that“ to „dedicated relationship“ in two seconds.
Let’s talk about the ending and that „plottwist“. It was just too much drama and it was ridiculous. What was he even mad about? Something she did 5 years ago? Did he try to talk to her like a normal human being? Nah, just knock on her door like a maniac and break up. His behavior is not understandable. Yeah she might kept secrets but he acts like a 5 year old who has to eat his vegetables.
Okay, I’ll stop now. I actually think this book was okay, besides a few issues, I couldn’t name all, but I mentioned the big ones and that ending. Maybe I’m just a bit overreacting because I’m disappointed so many people gave 5 stars and I’m totally let down after I finished it and can’t agree at all. Means I might be fired up since I put it down like 5 minutes ago. Maybe I’ll see it differently when I slept a night over it, which I doubt.
Side note: not sure if I should give 2 or 3 stars.
