He Kissed Me First by Sara Ney
2.0
I hated this book
This is, by far, my least favorite Sara Ney book. To me, there is a lot of rambling and digression from the main story in the characters' internal monologue. They would be thinking of one thing and to off on a tangent like a toddler.
Cecelia was an OK character. And Matthew was a jerk. The first part of the story was boring. The middle part was great. It had me engaged, ands laughing at the banter as I watched Cece and Matthew circle each other. And then my rating plummeted again when Matthew becomes a massive douche and tells Cece that it's a dealbreaker if she won't ever want to give him a bj. And when she tells him what to do with himself he says, "I can find plenty of girls who will do it for me. In fact, I can think of a cheap dozen to call right now and finish what we started.” a couple of pages later she's basically forgiven him because he was sexually frustrated, and she thinks was kind of leading him on, which I think is a crock of bull.
And finally, I guess the author took artistic license or I misunderstood something, but all of this is happening in the late fall, early winter; which is when I believe Matthew would have already had to have gone back to LA for hockey season...which starts in October.
