Anything but Easy by Susie Tate
3.0
I don't know, but I definitely didn't love it. Maybe not even liked it.
This was anything but an easy read.
I found this so problematic somehow?!?!? Barclay was pretty stalkerish, and constantly throwing his weight around. I didn't like the way he didn't even seem to realise he was insulting Kira, and believing the first person who said anything bad about her.
I also didn't love Kira.....what grown woman living alone lives in a house where the door doesn't lock, and is constantly burgled?!?!?! And her being weird to a certain degree is okay....I felt her weirdness and quirkiness were overdone in this book.
I also didn't like the constant nothing-but-sex-on-these-two's-minds thing. seriously, do you think of nothing but sex?!?!??And I didn't like that their relationship was almost completely based on nothing but sex?!?! Like, do you even know things that you should about each other!?!?
Barcley's overprotective alphahole behaviour was seriously making me start hating him, and remember that pushing away talked about in the synopsis?? That happens in the last 50 pages. Which is around 200 pages after when I wanted it.
Beyond all of that, this was a typical rom-com, but dialed up a bit with the enthusiasm....I was exhausted after I read this.
The parts about Sex Education and its importance were pretty good, and I liked how Kira didn't mind promoting it, but in some places I found it a bit inappropriate?
It was okay, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a light and funny read, and does not mind the slightly overprotective trope done too well.
