A Love Hate Thing by Whitney D. Grandison
Did not finish book.
DNF @ 48%
Okay, so I'm just going to be sharing some over arching thoughts that led me to not finish this ARC and I'll start with this: the writing. Almost immediately after I started I realized that this read a lot like a fan fiction, in a way. I can't pinpoint exactly where or why I felt this way, I just remember thinking it right off the bat and thinking about how almost.... far fetched this was.
I didn't like or connect with either character, or any side characters either. They were very flat and so incredibly inconsistent in their traits and personality. There were SO many stereotypes present, almost forced diversity in the community, and just a million other small things that I couldn't really get past. Also, there were a million 90's music references. It was nearly like this was set in the 90's. I don't know, man. I just wasn't into this at all.
