Yikes. This book was just terrible. I loved The Hating Game, but Second First Impressions and this one were really not for me. The book starts with Darcy pining over her childhood family friend Tom who is ENGAGED. I thought Darcy's flirtatious and provocative behavior around her engaged friend was inappropriate, immoral, and really just icky. At the end of the novel Darcy forgives Tom for something (no spoilers here!) he did that was creepy, illegal, possessive, and abusive without hesitation or a conversation. Overall I thought the characters were unlikable and lacked depth and I didn't particularly enjoy the writing style. The one thing I did actually enjoy was the setting of a home renovation but I wish it was described in more detail.
