The first half of the book is just background and more background. It could be the actual story, but just when it reaches the turning point, it jumps to the present. Hello? We want to see the hatred between them, the argument, the breaking point. How do we go from « we’re super in love » to « I hate you more than anyone, and if you come back, I’ll annihilate your family »?
If Grandma Anne was already unbearable in the first books, here she takes it to the extreme. Also, can someone explain why the grandparents hate each other so much?
Anyway, Celeste is a whole spectacle, I don’t even know where to start with her. And Zane… well, aside from being the cliché of I’ll prove I like you by pulling your pigtails, he has barely any personality.
And since, apparently, everything in life is solved with sex where they call you celestial and my goddess…
For some unknown reason, I keep reading. Maybe Lex is salvageable. Even Sierra didn’t sit well with me in this one
