My Rating: 2.3
Boy am I glad that's over! I feel like that book dragged on forever and ever. It was so unnecessarily long!
The only reason I didn't completely give up on this book was because I was interested in seeing how the love triangle played out. Honestly the writing style was terrible and the characters were extremely one dimensional. The storyline was cliche and has been done before, way better.
I hated the way the author used I've as a present tense contraction (i.e. I've a lot to do today. We've orders to go home). It annoyed me to no end! I'm used to seeing that as a past tense contraction and used very sparingly.
The ending, which was supposed to be the most exciting part, was the longest! I felt like it dragged on and on forever and it wasn't even exciting! I'm so glad to be done with that book and I will NOT be reading the next one.
