See allI will not be rating this because 1. I can not know what to rate this book b. I wanted to read a book for personal enjoyment instead of obsessing over the rating I'd give.
This is technically my second book by the author, as I had dnf'ed a man called ove. This took me a bit by surprise and inserted me into the story. I laughed, well, didn't exactly cry, but my heart broke so many times for some of the characters while I wanted to kill others.
Before reading this book, I thought to myself that reading eroticas will not make me dumb but I was so wrong. I wasted two hours of my night reading this awful book, to the point it made my brain become a mush.
- this book had no plot or storyline. The summary of the book was quite capturing and it was what caused me to read it. Not only that, but the writing was equally bad. The book was clearly not properly editted.
- Ava is an interior designer, and she's supposed to be working on the extension for The Manor but somehow, eighty percent of the book she's just fucking the owner. I only read half of the book, but she only goes there twice and both times, is somehow tricked into getting into his bed.
- I thought Ana from Fifty Shades was stupid, but boy, Ava takes the crown. I believe the author wanted to keep the readers in suspense perhaps, but how hard is it to tell the man (who wants to fuck you) that the reason you don't want to is because you think he has a girlfriend? Like, it takes her how many pages and encounters to finally fess up that thats one of the reasons shes running.
- The obvious racism Ava showed in the first chapter (i think) when she enters The Manor the first time. I should've stopped there.
- Jesse Ward is not hot, contradictory to Ava's beliefs. I did not find him attractive at all, or perfect as she liked to put it. He is the most horrible male protagonist I have ever read about. I think the author tried to base him off of Christian Grey, but my man Grey was always in his limits and never tried to control Ana's breathing as well. Just by reading, I felt suffocated by the way he commanded Ava, I don't know how did she put up with him. The way he would ask her not to curse but would talk shit himself. I wanted to punch him square in the face.
I'd like my some hours gone to waste by reading this book back. I lost so many braincells reading this, I want to read something smart now to get them back. Dear God, I don't know why did I even bother reading it!!
everything went over my head but i did feel really sad about her husband's death and her daughter's illness
not going to lie, i was aiming for 4/5 stars up until i found out the real reason simon was killed (OR, spoiler alert, killed himself to get back at bunch of other kids who didnt include him in). I was rooting for either of them to be the murdere but i was really disappointed.
