The Long Game

Ich sags mal so: Am Anfang war ich wirklich am überlegen, ob das Buch was für mich ist und ob ich es nicht doch abbrechen sollte. Der Einstieg war für mich sehr plötzlich und ich war nur verwirrt am Anfang. Auch die Protagonistin fand ich nicht wirklich symphatisch. Aber dann als er ins Spiel gekommen ist, hat sich dir Story ins Gute gewendet. Haters to lovers at its best! Ich musste so oft schmunzeln und kichern, weil einfach aaahhhh, lest selbst! Auch die Protagonistin hat sich während des Buches verändert und am Ende konnte ich mich in ihr etwas wiedererkennen. Für mich ein schlechter Anfang, aber im Verlauf purer RomCom wie es sein soll!

Yes it was a cute Lovestory but it was so cliché and annoying. I could have gone ballistic, every time she was super snippy towards him for no fucking reason. And I think I've never read an epilogue that bad. It was not the worst book I've read but by far not the best.

1 star feels too harsh because that rating is reserved for books I truly hated. So 1.5 stars. Indifference is my mood for this book. I didn't care for the characters, Adalyn was too whiny, too entitled, too proud, as if the entire world revolves around her. Cameron has as much personality as a piece of cardboard. Him calling her "darling" from the start when they hated each other felt like sexual harassment, not a term of endearment. It was disgusting and creepy AF. Also, these characters get horny about the weirdest things, especially Adalyn. At some point she watched Cameron literally squeeze a sponge and she's basically ready to mount the man. A SPONGE???? She barely knows the dude and she's already imagining having kids with him even though she hates him. "He'd make a great father" what??? Girl???? Also the weird drama at the end felt way too random and rushed and out of place, and I really didn't care for it. I read the authors previous books and they weren't impressive but they were enjoyable, I liked the characters in them. I wish I enjoyed this book as much, but I didn't.
