Jenna & Jonah's Fauxmance by Emily Franklin, Brendan Halpin

2.0

I wanted to love this book and since, usually, it doesn't take much for a book to make me happy, I really thought I would. But I really, really didn't. I had to finish this book in one sitting because I feared that if I put it down I would never go back to it. There was very little about this book that didn't annoy the hell out of me. The transitions between each point of view sucked because they were completely nonexistent. I felt like I was losing a huge part of the story between each chapter and it drive me crazy. This story did not flow well at all. Both Charlie and Aaron were obnoxious. Even the very little character development they went through did nothing for me. And I found myself close to throwing my kindle against a wall with all of their interactions that went from genuine to "acting". I hated the blurred line between them and their characters. And by the last chapter I was so confused because I had begun to skim just to get through it, and when I figured out what was happening I was like, really? This is what I'm left with? It could have been better if Aaron really was gay or tsai had both died in a fiery bus crash. OH, and I absolutely despised all the innuendos and any and all sexual references throughout the story. I'm usually all for some ust and good old lusty-lust, but this book failed at it. Every placement seemed wrong, inappropriate, failed, and totally cringe-worthy. Totally did nothing for me but irk my nerves even more. Complete disappointment.
