A review by lanidon
Double Apex by Josie Juniper
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
DNF @ the sex scene, I couldn't do it anymore
The FMC is just a horrible person; she uses everyone in her life and assumes the worst out of everyone. I would hate to live in her mind, just constantly looking down on others. My real breaking point was her openly stating to the MMC that she wants to use him for sex so she can ignore her problems temporarily and then act like it never happened the next day. She is so self centered she doesn't even realize he's half in love with her already and that she's hurting him by saying all he's good for is meaningless sex.
To be clear, I'm not a huge fan of the MMC either. He's repeatedly told his flirtatious ways are making someone uncomfortable and instead of stopping he just goes "chill, sweetcheeks, I sexually harass everyone." I do think he's more redeemable and more interesting than her, but I still don't love him.
The writing of the book itself was good at first, it's just the romance that killed it for me. I know that's weird to say about a romance book, but the stuff outside the romance was interesting. I may read the second in the series when it's out because I think the author has potential
