Stepbrother Dearest
by Penelope Ward
It's a tough decision for me..
Mostly because I LOVED how this book started. The 'fight' between Greta and Elec is what I've been looking for in the stepbrother-turns-into-lover theme. I loved how awful he treated her, I loved how annoying Elec was and I loved everything, except..
To me Elec is selfish. As much as I love his sensitive strike, his hotness and his unruly hair, I don't like him that much. Chelsea's a nice girl and I wish Penelope Ward writes her own story, Greta didn't deserve to be treated like that and oh yeah, Elec's a coward.
This book is good, I loved it but how the story went and how it ends, I'm not happy. I wish the story could be better than this. But seriously, overall I loved it, it's just not really my favorite.
3.5 stars.

Spoiler
He left and never once tries to contacted her even though he's just a plane away. If Elec truly loves Greta like he said in the night he took her V-card, why in the world he just leave like that? I mean, if I were her, I'm fine with phonecall, Skype or even letters. Dude, it's 21st century, you can't just leave a girl like that unless you hated her. But then, SEVEN YEARS later he came back and he didn't even want to be there plus he already have a fucking girlfriend, a nice one in fact. I was like seriously?To me Elec is selfish.
