He Kissed Me First by Sara Ney
3.0
After meeting Matthew Wakefield quickly in Kissing In Cars, I was not a fan. What a complete jerk.
With He Kissed Me First being his story, I was hoping that it was just because we didn't know him that well that he came across as a giant douchecanoe.
Nope, I was wrong.
In fact, he was even more unlikable in He Kissed Me First than in the first book. He is a 23 year old man-boy. I swear I know 8 year olds who behave better than he did!
Cecilia - Molly's roommate, and the object of Matthew's obsession - well, I liked her at first but as the story progressed I found her actions just stupid.
Matthew should be on a stalker-watch-list. I mean, surely his NHL team would have issues with his behaviour? I wanted to call the police on him more than once on Cece's behalf!
And don't get me started on Matthew's friends - why Cece gave any of them a second chance is beyond me.
I can't tell you how many times I put this book aside because all their behaviours annoyed me. I thought Weston was bad in Kissing In Cars, but he has nothing on this lot!
I know I sound harsh, but jeepers these people! I wanted to throw my kindle across the room (or perhaps even at Matthew's head).
Things did get slightly better at the end of the story, but not enough to make me forgive past behaviours.
I do have the 3rd book to dive into soon - hopefully the characters are better behaved than this book!
