Filthy Little Secret by Devon McCormack
2.5

Well, then. This was... pretty bad.
It's not well-written at all, the story is not good, and the characters are as one-dimensional and empty as they come. I can't deny that quality-wise this book was simply awful.
Nonetheless, I also can't say that I hated it. Because I didn't. In truth, I actually enjoyed it from time to time. 


“Give me a chance to show you, Mark. Let me show you that you can trust me. I’ll do whatever the fuck I have to. I don’t know how, but I will, because you matter too much to me… and I can’t fucking lose you.”


The beginning was definitely the worst of it all, but luckily it got a little better after they got rid of their awkward as all hell 'fuck buddy' arrangement. 
The moment they started to actually be all cutesy was for sure a step up from the annoying inner monologue about how they could never be in a relationship with each other, and how cool they both were for accepting that and not wanting more than just sex. Like, come the fuck on. 


“No, seriously. You deserve someone special.”
“I think I’m starting to see how you lead guys on.”
“I don’t ever say that kind of shit to other guys.”
“Then why say it to me?”
“Because you’re not like other guys.”
“Whatever.”
It’s clear he doesn’t believe me, and that pisses me off.


Anyway, all in all, this wasn't a good book whatsoever (obviously), but I didn't despise reading it or anything.
