Unteachable
by Elliot Wake
I hated a lot about this book, the heroine, the hero, the heroine, the romance, and oh, did I mention the heroine? I have never read about a snobbier, stuck up character in my entire life and I was sick to death of reading in her POV. She's gone through shit in her life, I get that, stuff that an 18 year-old shouldn't have to go through but in no way did that give her the right to say stuff like this:
“A group of girls drifted past, laughing in brazen tones. They smelled like a walking Bath & Body Works ad. They were moisturized and shining and tan, but beneath that was pudginess, acne, bulimia, self-hatred. They were processed. I was natural, uncultured and untamed.”
Wow, there's only one way to describe her and that's a bitch. How could I possibly like a character that hates other people for not having as much of a tough life as her? How does she even know any of that about them!? She thought she was an 'old soul' because of all the crap she went through but that right there showed her maturity level...
Evan was a 32 year old man who had previously had a relation with ANOTHER school girl! At one point he'd even admitted part of his attraction to Maise was because she was young. How the hell is this okay?! Ew.
It's hard to like a relationship between two characters when you hate them as individuals so much. I guess the reason I gave this two stars instead of 1 is because of its readability. I wanted to read the drama. I wanted to know where the plot went next. Other than that though, this was a pretty poor experience.
