Helloooooo toxic relationship! How very unfortunate to make your acquaintance again…
In all seriousness: What the hell was this?
It’s about a pathetic girl who’s addicted to sex and also happens to have insanely low self-esteem. Yes, really. Addicted to sex. Right. Let that sink in. That’s the stuggle our main character is dealing with. Like, okay… Interesting choice. Especially for a romance book. But okay.
We also have a moody guy who is so addicted to alcohol that I honestly find it highly unlikely he’s still alive. Yet, he somehow still manages to have the body of a Greek God. Uhu. Sure he does. Very realistic.
Of course these two are in a fake relationship, because… they both come from rich families and are both an absolute mess?? Yes, I know this doesn’t sound like an actual reason to pretend to be in a relationship, but that’s all this book gave me, so…
The weirdest part about all of this is that the guy somehow feels like he can constantly judge and tease the girl for wanting sex. Like, excuuuuse me, sir, but out of the two “addictions” yours is by far the worst and most destructive, so get off your high horse and piss off. Thank you. I know he was probably doing it because he was jealous, but I don’t care. Still an arsehole.
And don’t get me wrong; the girl is an annoying idiot. But at least she wasn’t mean or cruel. Actually… I take that back. She was kind of awful to all the guys she was sleeping with (or was using, I suppose). And she never thought to get the main guy, her supposed best friend, any help for his addiction even though he was clearly drinking himself into an early grave. So, huh… Well, I guess everyone just sucked in this book then. Won’t you look at that…
In conclusion: The guy should be in rehab and the girl should go to therapy. The end.
