A 34 year old guy acting like a moody teenager. Not for me

dark emotional tense

Age gap kind of bothered me, but stuck it through because I kind of wanted to know what happened. It was a really good book, but I wish she was a little older at least in her 20s or at least 20

W T F did I just read?!
I’m finding it so hard to rate this book. Could I recommend it? No. Did I hate it? No. Was it boring? NO! While I have multiple grievances with this book, I must say what a ride it was. I truly had zero clue where it was going and I never could have predicted how these events played out. Check all the trigger warnings and if you decide to give it a shot just take it all with a grain of salt. This landed as a 3.75 solely for the multiple typos I came across and sheer absurdity and cringe at times. I’m def up in the air about this one, but damn I will not forget it for a long time. I have to see what else BB has written!!

Rowdy x Atlas

I didn’t think I was going to like this book.  It started out a little slow and the morally gray age-gap had me a bit skeptical.  Not only did I like it….I absolutely loved it!!!!  When I wasn’t laughing out loud, I was literally screaming or clutching my imaginary pearls. Who knew that a love story between two of most toxic characters ever would be exactly what I needed to get out of a reading slump.  Rowdy Wray….my new book boyfriend….is like a sour patch kid….he starts out sour and ends up sweet!   Highly recommend!

This book had me hating and liking the main characters. I would have liked more from the other characters in the book. Some chapters I think could have been left out and towards the end seemed a little rushed. Overall the book kept me intrigued.

The age gap just couldn’t make sense to me it felt grimy. Atlas felt like an immature child trying to be grown.  Rowdy was an almost 40 year old immature unchecked man that couldn’t grow up. Everything about this book screamed put it down. Tried to like the book…
