Stupid Girl by Cindy Miles
5.0
I had read a ton of one or two star reviews of this book AFTER I had already purchased it. I am sure as hell glad that I didn't let that deter me from reading it anyway. Yes, it was a uniformed type story that some will say all follow the same basic rules, but I really LOVED this book. From the beginning to the end. There were a couple twists that I didn't expect and, yes, I will admit, a few instances where I was a bit peeved at the direction Cindy Miles took in the story line. But seriously this was an incredible story that didn't need a lot of dirty sex scenes to make it enjoyable.
I am the type of person that tends to read in accents. The first thing that came to mind for Brax Jenkins' voice was that of the incredible talents in Good Will Hunting, so when I got to the reference that Olivia makes to this in the book, I actually laughed out loud. I thought that the Southie accent was a different one than people usually chose for male characters in books. It was refreshing. And he was smart and intelligent to boot. Not just a tatted up dumb oaf...
I think that the characters were great and rounded out very well. I hate those books when you never actually feel a connection with the characters. When the author never really takes the time to let you get to know them. That was not the case here. In just the two chapters that were in Brax's POV, you were given more of an insight to how he feels about his 'Gracie' other than just how she perceives that he feels about her.
This was a really great book and I will FOR SURE read it again sometime :)
