I thought A Million Kisses In Your Lifetime would be the biggest disappointing read I’ve had to endure this year. But no, I think this one takes the cake. 

Listen. This entire book was quite literally Johnnys arrogant self attracted to Shannon and yet not being with her because of a 1-2 year age gap and Shannon being a freaking IDIOT and not carrying some COMMON SENSE. Like the bus scene with the freaking seat. That made me so angry, I don’t even want to talk abt it. 

For 700 pages I continued this book. I was hoping it would get good. It did not. I was hoping the characters would experience some development. They did not. 

Now it isn’t a 1 star because I did laugh in certain parts and I didn’t absolutely hate EVERY aspect of this book—just most of it. 

There are some books I can understand why people adore them, but this book is not one of those.

The last chapter tho? I will admit I wanted to cry and I will indeed be reading the rest of the series simply to 1. Figure out what will happen, 2. For Gibsie and Claire and 3. Because I already bought the entire series and cannot return the books 😁
