99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne
3.0
I waited so long for this book and it did not meet my expectations (sad face)
First, let me start by saying I loved the story, the setting, the characters (almost) and the HUGS!
The hugs were phenomenal!
But two things bothered me to no end!
One, the writing. or the portrayal of Tom. I loved Tom! so much but sometimes, I felt like he was weird, or he did something out of character, that was brushed as how he is but seemed bizarre! I don't know how to explain it other than it made me cringe a bit.
Plus, he did something in the end, that made me really disappointed in him
Second, Jaimie! I have so much , let's say, negative feelings towards Jaimie. He was the worst brother you could have! let alone TWIN! He was emotionnaly abusing his sister the whole time, and said one nice thing by the end and I'm supposed to like him for it! or root for him to be with anyone, let alone a great beautiful independant woman like Truly!
So yeah! I loved the romance, but couldn't enjoy it fully.
Characters - 3/5 but for Jaimie (0/5)
Plot - 4/5
Writing - 3.5/5
Pace - 4/5
Angst - 3/5
Fun -3/5
Romance/Love - 3/5
That something more of "Je ne sais quoi" - 1/5
