Meg

One Day!
That is how long it took me to read this. And if you ask me it was too long.
This book felt like a cliche after another.
Think of a horror movie. Do you remember that once scene where the protagonist is talking to someone in authority about the monster and the authority refuses to believe it's real?
Yeah they have not one but two characters like this in this book. And even after it is proven without a shadow of a doubt that the protagonist was right, these two still have an antagonistic relationship with him. Why...because drama, I'm pretty sure what the author thought.
What else.
The "hero Jonas" is a bit of a Mary sue. He manages to get not one but two unbelievably gorgeous women. Oh lets talk about that for a moment. His second love interest, Terry, in the first three chapters. "I hate you Jonas, you are a chauvinistic jerk." He was.
Most of the rest of the book....She shows up in a bikini once or twice, no dialog nothing....
Last end of the book all of a sudden she is in love with Jonas, he's still the chauvinistic butt plug but there is literally no scenes or dialog to show this happening. Just it happened.
