To Hate Adam Connor by Ella Maise
1.0
I really didn't like this book. It never adequately addresses the casual stalking Lucy did. Like taking pictures from a ladder into someone's backyard is a serious invasion of privacy. But we are cool with it because .
Adeline is like a terrible person, and Adam comes from a famous Hollywood family, but his family only barely impact the story.
The drama was too much, and not enough heart.
Adam was possessive in an icky for me. Like not asking Lucy to marry him, but literally demanding it. It was not cute or like charming.
AND CAN WE NOT HAVE LITTLE BOYS ALREADY MISOGYNISTIC. Aiden says at one point something like " you eat more than me and my dad. Girls aren't supposed to eat that much." Ughhhhh
Also 6 year olds crushing on adults is never cute to me, especially when adults play into it.
Oh my god and the sexual assault from that random actor to serve as a means of Adam and Lucy getting closer was insane. No thank you.
This whole book was like a soap opera in a bad way.
