Second First Impressions by Sally Thorne

1.0

I can’t accept that this book was written by the same author who wrote The Hating Game. This book was so, so bad. It barely made sense most of the time, it touched on so many aspects of Ruthies life without flushing anything out enough like her parents or her OCD. Ruthie herself was one of the most bland and boring characters I’ve ever read. There was nothing there, she was so G rated it bothered me. The weird quips, her obsession with Teddy but unwillingness to acknowledge anything, but flirting with him all the time? Nothing made sense. The meeting elderly people were horrible, not funny at all. Mel was okay. Teddy I liked at the beginning but he was so desperate and weird, always pushing himself into Ruthie. Neither of them matched how they were supposed to be. She’s supposed to be this beautiful woman but he confuses her for an old lady? She literally has no life, no ambition, she’s no naive and stuck and ugh I just cringed through everything about her life from her parents to her routine to her appearance it drove me crazy. Teddy was so childish and oblivious. This was such a miss I skimmed through most of it, it was a chore to finish.
