the way this series just fell off for me... sigh
I loved the first book it was so interesting with the gossip girl type feel to the book but as the series continued the plot just seemed so far-fetched for a bunch of teenagers. i know it's fiction but there has to be some semblance of normality for the readers to believe/relate to right?
i just felt like this book had so many filler/mundane moments, focus on other characters, and not enough romance??? most of the book involved blue and west trying to get west's dad to leave them alone but the whole thing just dragged on and on, which meant their actual relationship wasn't developed at all and everything that unfolded ended up being anti-climactic because i was just bored.
west's personality seemed to do a 180. authors if your selling your H as this cocky, bully/asshole don't just turn him into a fucking simp 2 seconds later. they can still be cocky/assholey whilst loving the heroine? the sappy dialogue becomes cheesy and in this case, their chemistry just vanished. I'm also not interested in west's brothers enough to read their books next :/
