Fighting For You by Monica Murphy

2.0

based on the blurb and recs i really wanted to root for diego and jocelyn... but what is there to root for ?
i know they’re young and in a difficult situation but both of them are extremely dumb - defend yourself, stand up for yourself, communicate and stop listening to everyone around you, stop underestimating your enemies, COMMUNICATE

the book is extremely bad written. the author had the blurb but didn’t know what to do with it. it reads as phony .... the empty arguments, the story changing every two seconds ... there was so much more believable stuff to do for a young couple with this dynamic honestly. instead it’s a damn puzzle until the author decides what she really wants to do. and then... a few chapters later you’re told things happened differently

also if it’s a dual pov let the characters think? and tell us things ? diego did “things” with cami you’re not told exactly what happened until 700+ pages in (and jocelyn isn’t told either)

cami- something has to be said about her. it’s the first book from that series i’m reading but apparently she’s there to wreak havoc in all the couples? who said it was a good idea ? even marco has more personality than she does. if you’re going to add characters at least make sure that they’re fully formed ? otherwise it’s only ridiculous. i can’t for the life of me understand how she managed to do any bad to the relationships she’s so obvious and ridiculous - yet it works because author said so

i loved older books by this author and thought this series would have the same vibe. damn was i wrong, i child would have done better
