Say You Swear by Meagan Brandy
1.0
With all due respect, this was ass.
I really did try with this book. Over the course of 2 weeks, I dnf-ed at 15% and then I went back to it, dropped it again at 35% and then I PICKED IT UP AGAIN. I don't know why I put myself through the torture, I just wanted to see it to the end.
So many things wrong with the book and it's characters I don't even know where to start. The writing style is horrible, the dialogue is choppy, juvenile and reads like something a 13 year old on wattpad would write. The characters kept saying things like 'biatch' and 'biznatch' and it was so annoying. The most frustrating part of trying to read this was when the author would put a major time skip in between paragraphs without anything to indicate that there was a time skip. I can't count the amount of times I had to go back and read the last paragraph, confused out of my mind.
The characters infuriated me, I wanted to take a hammer to every one of their heads.Arianna is probably the stupidest person ever, I couldn't dig up a smidge of affection for her even if you paid me to. She just goes along with everything everyone tells her with a bit of coercion, like girl can't you think for yourself??!?Cameron was soooo self centered and pushy and inconsiderate. And don't even get me started on the misogynistic bastards that were Mason, Brady and Chase, ESPECIALLY Mason. The author wanted him to come off as an 'over-protective older brother' and overdid it so much he became a selfish, misogynistic asshole who couldn't pull his head out of his ass long enough to see he was hurting his sister. Noah was okay I guess. The only annoying thing about him was how self destructive he was lol.
There was practically ZERO chemistry between Arianna and any of her love interests. You could have put 2 potatoes in front of me and they'd have more chemistry than them. Not a single quote, nor annotation, NOTHING. I haven't read a book this forgettable and insignificant in a long minute!
Say you swear is just 700 pages of wasted time, it honestly could and should have been cut in half. I'm pretty sure I skimmed through atleast 65% of the book.
Thank heavens I'm free!!
