Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
I should’ve stoped when Lincoln’s sister used the re****ed word unironically. Did I? Nope I decided to read a couple more chapters after that.
The use of the above word wasn’t the only thing wrong with this novel. The two women read more like teen girls than women in their late twenties. And we’re supposed to cheer for Lincoln to have a happily ever after even though he’s going absolutely no where in the book and keeps focusing on his high school girlfriend!! Also why do people continue to write stalking as romantic?!? Can we stop it, please? It weird and disturbing and how it was written has the reader in the role of Lincoln, reading the emails. I feel like I need a shower.
I looked up the publication date and am still shocked this was written in 2011 and not in the early 2000s!
