viselik's review against another edition
I struggled even to get through the pages I did read, I should have not forced myself to read as far as I did. I read it after I saw how popular it was and was curious, well curiosity killed the cat, didn't it?
I wouldn't really recommend anyone get into this series as I don't personally see anything that is worth the price tag here. There are so much better fanfiction sites out there.
This used to be a Wattpad fanfic between a reader insert and Harry Styles, and it's still very obvious to be that! Even Hardin's tattoos are kept the same or are very similar. Do I have to remind people, by the time this book was originally written Harry Styles was a minor and the author was over 20?
The plenty of smut scenes from the small bit I read were rather boring, the level you would expect from a Wattpad fanfic.
Here are some of the notes on the bits I did read. Warning it's full of swearing and spoilers.
Tessa is a lot more judgemental than she seems to think she is.
- She is stuck up and looks down at people who have tattoos and piercings
- "he has destroyed his body with holes and tattoos" - Chapter 5
- Looked down at Hardin for liking books
- "There is no way a rude, disrespectful, tattooed jerk like Hardin could possibly enjoy those amazing works. The only thing I can picture him reading is the back of a beer bottle." - Chapter 10
- She is scarily naive.
- Hardin, is also a judgemental twat but he at least knows he is one.
- Doesn't really date but sleeps with girls constantly
- "No way. Hardin doesn’t date. He fucks with a lot of girls, but he doesn’t date anyone. Ever."
- Likes books.
- Is very active in the bedroom
- “Does Hardin have a lot of friends with benefits?” I don’t want to hear the answer, but I can’t help asking. She snorts and sits down on her bed across from me. “Yeah, he does. I mean, not like hundreds, but he’s a pretty . . . active guy.”
- The book's chapters are done in a really poor way, each chapter is like 2 pages long, and it feels like Wattpad fanfic still.
- I still cannot get over how this story was written when Harry Styles was <i>16 or 17 years old</i>.
- Chapter 18 has an attempted r*pe scene. Great.
- I don't remember if this book has a content warning for that.
- If not it really needs one.
- We kind of just move on from that as well.
- Chapter 19 is about making out with Hardin and starting to get more than just making out, Hardin is sucking on her neck, how cute Tessa is cheating on her boyfriend.
- Like she wasn't totally just nearly assaulted in the last chapter.
- She even forgets about her boyfriend for a bit.
- Girlfriend of the Year right here.
- Hardin has a boner from it but is hiding it.
