Credence
by Penelope Douglas
Copy and paste, lmfao! I felt exactly the same way. I was only excited the last 30% when Jake or Noah showed up on the page. I was completely turned off my Kaleb as a character.
I do appreciate that she realized she needed to leave instead of staying the summer. It did show some growth in her character instead of making her into some desperate girl. Yet, she didn't fully make the decision herself and leaned on his actions to do so. I just couldn't get by Kaleb at all. His character was NOT redeemable in the least bit at all.
Although I enjoyed the peak into Kaleb's head with the use of the writing in the book, I don't think it was enough to truly justify they had fallen into this deep love that was portrayed. It didn't feel complete forced, but there was a lot to be desired for a good romance. I'm still stuck on the passionate scenes with Jake.
Every single time she was with Kaleb it never felt as powerful. It was sad to see that only way he could show his love was through sex. They basically were some horny teens with a superficial connection at best. I can't get behind that 'the heart wants what the heart wants' bull crap in teen angst books. I can't fault Penelope Douglas for writing more new adult content. I'm just not a new adult or ya reader; I'm past that phase in my life. So, it's hard for me to connect with any character's in that phase.
