So, the first book in the series, I loved. Typicl high school, but it kept me entertained. With Mac...he confused the heck out of me at time. He loves his brother, doesn't want him to die (due to something happening in the book) then when the brother gets home, he can't stand him? Didn't particularly like this story.....
I have to say, seeing the ratings and the comments, I may have expected more than it could deliver. I want to finish the book, as I'm JUST one chapter in, but I already despise the MC.
Spoilers ahead altho I've only read the 1st chap so idk
She has to be one of the worst MC's I've read in years. Her actions are unjustified. She is absolutely privileged, an entitled brat who cannot even fathom that some people work hard for what is gifted to her.
Her "reasons" for hating Via are completely unjustified and out of proportion, and so are her actions and thoughts. She obviously is jealous, but the fact she even goes as far as to discredit and make assumptions about Via and her own mother with no proof is wild.
And she stole Via's mail, opened it and read it, and THEN gave it to some random who broke the letter in front of you. A letter you well know is absolutely essential for her career and your own mothers feelings and career. You just stand there and feel relieved. The only prop I can give her, kind of, is the minimal self-awareness she has, admitting she is a monster for destroying someone's future with no remorse. She then kisses this random dude (1st chap kiss? A random you even said dressed like a "hobo"?) And goes to her mother, and BLAMES HER for "loosing the letter", again with no remorse or any guilt.
SHE IS SO ENTITLED! MANIPULATIVE, LIAR, DRAMATIC, ABSOLUTELY DISMISSIVE TOWARDS ANYONE AND ANYTHING.
And ik, the description of the synopsis introduces a revenge arc, so ofc she had to be a bad person for her to be redeemed forward. But i really don't see how she can be redeemed. She insults Via, dismisses her as a spoiled brat, like she isn't one, and mentally dismisses her own mother because how dare she be proud of her best ballet dancer ...
Oh the fact that she thought the dude was a hobo because he wasn't wearing brand new clothes. And the MMC not even introducing himself, being 2 years older than her and watching her 2 or 3 days a week without a single word to then approach her, tear up the letter, give her his "most precious possesion" and kiss her? What in the creep- if they at least had some chemistry... but no, she was too focused on feeling hate and envy of Via and judging the MMC until he had his tongue down her throat. Yep, thats right. Their first kiss as people who don't know each other is a french kiss. Yep.
I just wish i could finish it to find more things to complain about but i was horrified by this 1st chapter so I can't finish it.
Haha! The interaction and chemistry between them is perfect. Short, sweet, romantic. Loved it.
I really don't know how I feel about this one; after they get back together, still fairly early on in the book, the remaining 20 or so chapters are just....anticlimatic, I guess. The concept was good, the story was kind of boring but it had potential. The spice was dull, the writer gave us the mechanics but no heat or emotion. The book sort of builds to the rekindle then limps along to its ending.
