For The Record, I Hate You
by Amanda Gambill
Oh, I hate writing reviews like this. I should start by saying I don't generally read romances with college-age leads/early 20-somethings. I was really hoping to like this book, regardless of the age. But it was pretty much exactly my problem with this story.
First, these characters are highly immature and are living within the drama bubble that is High School, despite being in college. The first few chapter are an onslaught of meeting far too many characters and getting their entire high school back story, complete with cliques and popularity status. It made my head swim at the sheer amount of info dump there was. And worse then the volume was the subject matter. If everyone on earth HATES the truly ridiculous politics, status, and drama of High School, imagine how painful it is to read about it.
It made the first chapters of this book painfully unenjoyable to read that i finally gave up. DNF at 31%.
