sophiaalexisbooks 's review for:
The Anti-Virginity Pact
by Katie Wismer
I was given an ARC copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
I want to start off this review by saying that I love Katie's YouTube channel and have follower her for years, and I think because of my following her content, I got my hopes up more than I should of when coming into this book.
I also want to state that I DNF-ed this book at 50% of the way through.
Right from the beginning, I knew the writing style was one that I wasn't going to be into. I just didn't connect with how the characters were written, as well as the dialogue exchange. I do hope to read more of Katie's work in the future to see the development of her writing style, but for this book, it wasn't a match.
The best way I can describe what I had read would be boring. The characters were a bit bland and 2 dimensional, and I feel as though the characters were extremes of many tropes, for example, one trope is the quiet/shy girl and her super outgoing friend. I just couldn't connect to any of the characters and that made me sad as I was hoping to connect with at least one.
The plot for me didn't seem to go anywhere and I am aware I didn't finish the novel, so that may have changed further in the text but after reading half the book and not having much happen besides introducing a love interest, I decided this book wasn't for me.
Again I know this is Katie's first novel, so I am open to reading more of her books in the future, this one just wasn't meant to be.
