The Heir by Sophie Lark

hannibanani29's review

This is the first book I've ever DNFed, and I feel really bad about it. It's not a horrible book or anything, and I've definitely read worse, but I'm in a reading slump and this book put me further into the slump. I honestly just did not like any of the characters or feel any of the chemistry between them. It read a bit too much like high school drama (despite the characters being college-aged) and there was way more focus on things like a school competition or a basketball game than the romance I was hoping for. Perhaps that would change in the second half of the book, but this one just wasn't worth waiting it out in the hopes that the story would improve. I do want to try some other Sophie Lark books though! This just wasn't the one for me, clearly.

I really enjoyed this book. They felt like young adults. I kinda wish they were in their 20s but its college. I get it. Now I really could've done without the tearing in the sex scene Jesus. Not needed. I also wish Sophie Lark would discuss contraception more in here books because I can't tell if they are risking it for the biscuit or if she's on the pill and there are no worries.
