DNFing as an act of self care. I don’t know if this book has been seen by an editor, but I think one is definitely needed because there’s SO MUCH that didn’t need to be there. I endured around 200 pages and their isn’t a single ounce of chemistry between the 2 MCs. I guess the author was trying to paint the guy as some HIMBO we’re meant to find adorable or something, but he just comes across as an unfinished character. It’s almost like this guy was a placeholder for the author to come back to once she’s figured out his personality, except she never figured it out and left it as is. Anyway I wish I was like the people that enjoyed this, and maybe it gets better as this is an almost SEVEN HUNDRED PAGE romance. However I choose to compensate for the lack of love between the main characters by loving myself, and allowing myself to lose this battle. Me: 0 Mariana: 1.

Me ha encantado, pero hay dos cosas que no me han cuadrado.
La primera es como muchas cosas quedaban en nada, un ejemplo podria ser las inseguridades que tiene Vanessa con su cuerpo, las cuales nunca se solucionan o se hablan seriamente.
La otra cosa creo que recae más en gustos personales, porque a mi de verdad no me gustaba cuando eran muy obvias las intenciones de Aiden pero Vanessa no se daba cuenta, literalmente la habia besado segundos antes y ella seguía creyendo que era solo una amistad, lo cual se me hace muy tonta porque no es la primera vez que la autora lo hace y al final cansa.

Re-read 2013- 3.0

It’s sort of lukewarm, not much goes but I don’t like how some topics were brushed pass.
