Hating the Player

Like the first book, this is a pretty fast read. I liked the dynamic of Violet and Gavin. It‘s cliché in a good kind of way if you like this kind of story. There‘s even a scene of when he takes care of her when she‘s ill – which couldn‘t have been more rom com cliché if they tried. Violet is also a very relatable character with character traits and interests that made her stand out to me even more so than Daisy, but not in a ‘not like other girls‘ kind of way – instead there‘s a lot of insight in her insecurities and why she has these strong opinions. I liked Gavin more than I thought I would, but he doesn’t hold a candle to Jordan. What bothered me is the cheating storyline and how it was handled. I don‘t think it‘s handled in a problematic way (not necessarily at least), but in the end it reminded me a little bit of ’Spring Semester‘ by Q.B. Tyler, a book I disliked, maybe hated a little bit, and this part of the story doesn‘t sit right with me and is predictable in my opinion. This is also tagged along until I think the last chapter? Why? 3/5⭐️ 2/5🌶️
