Someone Had To Do It by Amber Brown, Danielle Brown
Did not finish book. Stopped at 47%.
i dnf’d at 47%
at first, i was liking the book, though i was having a hard time grappling the micro aggressions, perpetuation of stereotypes, and clichés found at every page turned. i pushed through cause i wanted to see where exactly it was going, but the more i read the more brandi, the main character, became INCREASINGLY unlikeable and lacking accountability for choices she had made.
for a thriller, there were quite a few spicy scenes in the 14 chapters i read, from both the main character and supporting ones, too.
i feel like i would’ve stuck to it had the antagonist, taylor, would’ve been written differently. has she’d more depth or been written outside of what society see high echelon kids, this would’ve been a more… exciting? read(?) i was forcing myself to read and nearly 50% into the book, nothing really had happened to suggest >thriller<.
