The Devil Wears Black by L.J. Shen
Did not finish book.
DNF 29%
I really tried
But I can't do this to myself
Initially, I liked this book, the first pages seemed like something I would love reading. But as I went on some common sense knocked me off.
What initially seemed like a hot second chance romance turned to be a "she's different from other girls" (because she's quirky and relatable) and "all the blondie girls are evil and stupid and love plastic surgery" (because the cliche can't be more original) plus an "I'm super hot because I'm rich and I wear black all the time" (because the male mc needs to be an asshole to get the girl).
And all that excluded, I was having a really hard time trying to find a reason to read this book. I was just plainly bored. And seriously, for me it's really difficult to DNF books because I spent my money on them and I won't let that waste. But a month later I can't imagine picking up this book, and I don't care if it gets better later because I can't do this to myself.
