Bad Girl Reputation by Elle Kennedy
2.0
Bad Girl Reputation follows former bad girl Gen and local bad boy Evan. Gen moves back to her hometown to help out with her family's business, there she runs into her ex-boyfriend Evan. The two find that they're still drawn to each other, but Gen is determined to not go back down that road because she knows it'll end with her returning to her former bad girl self.
For me, characters are the most important part of a book. If I don't like the characters, I'm not going to like the book. I hated both the main characters in this book. I found them to be extremely annoying and toxic to not only each other but also their friends. In Gen's case, her friends were just as toxic as her. I can get behind characters who aren't necessarily good people if they're written in a way where they're likeable despite their flaws. But these characters were not likeable at all.
I didn't love the first book in this series, but I liked it enough. After reading this book, I'm questioning everything I liked about the first book. This book was definitely not for me at all.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an eARC of this book!
