Fearless by Lauren Roberts
DID NOT FINISH: 30%

Wtf was this??? 

25% DNF because I was so bored I don't even care about how it ended. 

I went into the first 50 pages expecting a lot of angst and exciting buildup. 

What did I get? Nothing. What I got instead was the urge to rewrite this book entirely myself, having to resist rolling my eyes every time anyone talked, and sighing every time Kai was mentioned. 

We get it Paedyn, you want to be with him. But this forced angst of having to "pretend" whilst literally making out with eachother ten minutes later was sooo pointless. 

"let's pretend" even though everybody already knows we love eachother. "let's pretend" and not be subtle at all. "let's pretend" and not actually face the consequences. Cause where the stakes??? 

It wasn't in Kai and Paedyn having to stay away (because they wouldn't) it wasn't in the complicated politics and the arranged marriage story line (because in 170 it barely progressed). And it definitely wasn't in the side characters (because they barely showed up.) 

I'm so disappointed in this book 😔
