![]() ![]() Things I did enjoy: her writing, the creativity of her scenes and her dirty talk and sex scenes weren't cringy at all, so points for that! Some moments were very memorable. Nothing about this one was torturous, her timing was a little off and half of the time I only remembered he was her ex's dad because he would mention it, so the relationships weren't developed very well. ![]() Just personal taste.Īs for the ex's dad, this was trying a little too hard to be the next Birthday Girl ( one of my favorite books of all times) and the best thing about Birthday Girl is how emotional it is + the torturous wait. I like my female main characters more aggressive and combative, and for the male main characters to be a little more brutal as well. I just feel like I personally do not enjoy praise this way and this dynamic of relationship. I like when things are slower, I like the edging, the longing a little bit more but I can't deny this book was well written. Things that annoyed me: the co-dependency, the female main character (plain and boring), the overall development of their relationship, the beginning was too rushed, and the insta-love wasn't for me. ![]() The reality is: I am way too much of a brat for this book. It gave me insane 50 Shades of Grey flashbacks. You guys made it sound like this was off the charts, it wasn't.
