amandalynnhuffman's review against another edition
Gave this a few chapters and I can already tell it’s not my thing. I’m rolling my eyes every other paragraph.
They have been enemies their entire lives—literally says he met her when she was born—and somehow they are supposed to fall in love. Her entire family loves him and he has been in her life consistently and at no point until now has anything even remotely resembling a connection sparked? The unlikely nature of this is not going to go over well with my analytical brain.
And not only that, but she is insanely aggressive towards him and rude. She admits to lying to her family right out of the gate. She jumps all over him and accuses him of wealth hungry business practices—when she knows nothing about his business that literally does the opposite of her allegations. She rejects his gesture to walk her home because “she can handle herself” in the dark of night, listening to headphones, with a beat up shoulder…right. Feminism is fine until you just look like an idiot trying to prove a point for no reason.
Honestly, I am bummed. I really enjoyed the first one and Chloe’s writing style seems right up my alley.
DNF

I've liked her stuff before but this was just meh. The constant nicknames and pet names got to me. Also small pet peeve but I love a progressive cause as much as the next person but I've yet to find a book that references it smoothly and all of them here felt clunky
