The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker
2.0
I liked the main elements of the book but the details that would elevate it to a great book were missing.
Let's start with the main character, Calla. I honestly hated the way she was written. I get the author was going for "superficial Californian girl" but she had no depth to her. I also disliked that the story arc for her was there's more to life than makeup and Instagram. Don't get me wrong, I'm not really big into makeup and not at all into Instagram but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth to boil it down to "all just superficial and stupid"
Now, Jonah. I also disliked him, so much. We were continuously told that he had a soft heart and we even saw this a few times but the transition was just too fast to be believable. "Ups, sorry, I wanted to snog you the whole time, you're actually amazing and so clever" is just stupid, sorry.
Then whole Wren arc was also a bit lacking but it was the best part of the book.
The romantic parts were horrible because I didn't feel any connection between the characters.
