More Than This by Jay McLean
1.0
In the past four years, Mikayla has dated her high school boyfriend. During her prom, she discovers her best friend has been hitting him on the side for the past two years. She gets swept away to another prom that night by Jake, the sexy boy from another school with a hero complex. What a terrible night, huh? Haha! You have seen nothing yet. After their magical evening, Jake accompanies Mikayla back home only to find that her entire family has been murdered, and it has set her house on fire, leaving her homeless. Once again, Jake saves the day and takes her home to be with his family to begin an extremely unhealthy, insta-love relationship.
It took all my willpower not to DNF this book. The story is one of the most unrealistic I’ve ever read!
The characters seemed like cardboard cutouts attempting to convince me they were in a relationship. She moves into Jake’s family’s home after that and they start a new life together (remember that they met the night before and now he is apparently ‘her home’). I have never read such a frustratingly boring insta love slow burn.
The book is completely over-the-top, so I cannot recommend it to others. Despite my best efforts, I just couldn’t get into this book. Every scene made me groan inwardly and roll my eyes. It’s awful. Overall, I wasn’t a fan of this book. All of it made little sense to me.
