Something That Could Last by Ashley Cade
2.0
I was really unsure about this book.
Things I did like: Beautiful cover! It drew me in and I was looking forward to reading this. The ending - the last quarter of it was much better than the rest of it and set itself up for another book.
Things I didn't like: I wasn't keen on all the music references, I didn't see the point. The book felt over padded and there was so much stuff that could have been removed to make it tighter and read much better. I didn't like the main characters either. I struggled to care at all. And I found the sex scenes a bit uncomfortable and cringey...
This book wasn't for me, but I can see it having a large fan base and I can understand why people would want to read this. It was good for a debut novel and I think the way it picked up at the end means the rest of the series might be much better.
I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
