Egotistical Player by Bella Emy
1.0
At first, Egotistical Player had me desperate to see how the story played out. Unfortunately, it’s one of those books that I enjoyed less the deeper through the book I worked.
There is one simple reason for this: the angst did not work for me. I love an angsty story, and this tried hard to deliver angst. There were lots of events that could have resulted in broken hearts, but it never worked for me. Each time something bad happened, we would skip forward in time. It happened, but we did not get the chance to appreciate and feel it. Add in the fact this happened over and over, dragging it out, and I stopped caring about what was happening.
It’s possible I’m in the minority, but this one didn’t deliver the angsty read I had expected.
