2.5
I had a love/hate relationship with this book. I’ve honestly debated the star ratings because I was so back and forth. I think I’m finally settling on a 2.5 rating.
I’ll start with the things I did like. I enjoyed how there was representation of a minority group in this book (and a minority group that is not typically included). I liked the characters (except Sydney) I enjoyed the musical aspect and I enjoyed the character interactions.
Things I wish there were more of: I wish Brennan had played a more prominent role. I wish we had actually been able to read his first encounter with Sydney. I just feel like he had a lot to contribute. I also wish there were more interactions amongst the roommates and not just Sydney and Ridge. I think Bridgette could’ve been more fun and I think it would’ve been cool to see her fleshed out more.
What I did not like: Sydney. She was so emotional. Some of it was understandable, but she cried way too much. I get that there are people out there that cry at everything, but it got to the point where if the paragraph read tears welling up or sliding down her cheeks I just skimmed it or skipped it. I was so tired of reading about her crying. Maybe that makes me sound heartless, but she was just too emotional for me. I also didn’t really like how fast their attraction grew. I feel like there should’ve been more build up and getting to them one another.
