Devil May Care
by Angel Lawson, Samantha Rue
This is my first book by either of these authors, and I’m obsessed with their writing style. This book has just the right amount of angst and redemption.
Boy, did I hate Hamilton. At first. He’s superficial, only caring about pedigree and he looks down on Gwendolyn because she’s adopted, so she doesn’t share her family’s “blood”. He’s so convinced he’s always right. He feels entitled to every single thing that’s been handed to him. He doesn’t realize that he’s just regurgitating the values that his father has ingrained into him since birth.
Somehow, as the book progressed, I started hating Hamilton less. He has some redeeming features. He might actually not be an inherently evil person. He might not be completely incapable of redemption. He might be worthy of love.
I loved how this book gave me all the feelings. It feels far more realistic than other books that deal with similar matters, mostly because of the way that Hamilton is portrayed. He’s an awful person, and the authors aren’t making up excuses for him.
5 stars!
