Acts of Desperation by Megan Nolan

1.0

well - that was awful. i have to be honest: i skimmed the last few pages because i just found it THAT unbearable. acts of desperation technically had everything i usually like in a book: unlikeable characters, less plot more vibes, a messed up, obsessive love story. but this just didn't work. the mc is soo whiny and the love interest is not just unlikeable, he is literally a major abusive asshole. i didn't understand how this love story even came to be: she falls for him even though he treats her like garbage right from the start.
even worse than the relationship is the prose: pseudo deep and philosophical tumblr-esque quotes on every other page. idk it was soo annoying.
reading this felt like an complete waste of my time, i absolutely hated it.
