Oh wow. That was... Something. Not totally bad but not good enough for a 3* for me. There were too many things that bothered me. 1. The heroine is a mess. I thought she's going to be a bad girl but she's just a good/naive girl who was caught stealing/borrowing money. She was so naive and desperate and pretty much pathetic for like... 80% of the book I guess. I mean you could argue that she's just am 18 y/o naive girl with no experience so I think she COULD be quite realistic to some people but... Idk I couldn't connect to her. I was frustrated with her or felt bad for her. She had no agency and honestly I have no idea how she didn't break her sister's nose. Because she deserved that. 2. The hero was an even bigger mess. Spent half of the book sulking because his girlfriend cheated and then he realized he never truly loved her. Like I get it. He thought he did for EIGHT years and sometimes it takes a bit but... It wasnt convincing enough for me and he was such an asshole to the heroine and an asshole in general. I couldn't connect with him though I really wanted to. But I have to admit he was more tolerable by the end 3. THE DIALOGUE. what the HELL. no one speaks like that. No 18 y/o or 23 y/o athlete does. The dialogue was the biggest mess and made it so hard for me to continue. WHO TALKS LIKE THAT?? 4. The sister gets her own point because I have no idea how she got out of this with little to no consequences. Call me petty and unforgiving but If I was arrow or the or Salem I would have ripped her a new one. But maybe that's just me. 5. The eyes... For a moment I thought I was reading a paranormal/fantasy book because how do one's eyes become darker? All in all it wasn't enough for me to give it 3* but I will still read the next books because I'm interested in the other girls and I will also check out the writer's other books.
