Pucking Around by Emily Rath

Did not finish book. Stopped at 67%.
I read the prequel to the book and thought it was great. But this book stunk. To start, Rachel came off as wushu-washy and manipulative in the book. The other characters, Jake, Caleb, and Ilmari, were more interesting. However, the relationship between them felt forced. Each guy had an insecurity and it soon felt like a competition. Anytime the book tries to approach that subject for a real conversation, it barely covers it before jumping into an excessive make out/ sex session. Ilmari joins the relation halfway into the book but it still feels forced. I especially found Ilmari to be more interesting. The storyline about his injury and background was better compared to the other plot. However I didn’t like his relationship with Rachel. The biggest issue was how she handled him and his bio dad. At first, Rachel didn’t know that Dr. Hella was his bio dad but then she pushes Ilmari to forgive him and form a relationship. I’m sorry, I can excuse Rachel not knowing who Dr. Hella was to Ilmari but to push him to accept him was the straw that broke the camels back.
