It Felt Like a Kiss by Sarra Manning
2.0
Ellie is waaaayyyy too good and waaaayyy to patient
I was losing my temper from the first 20% because that’s when the book really starts after the introductions of Ellie’s life before the scheme starts.
I hated her dad her mom her half sisters her step mom her ex and David ...
He still was lying to her even till the last page and beyond (omitting the truth is a lie!) her mother too.
Her mother spent all her life shitting on her dad and not letting them have a relationship because he didn’t want Ellie, well neither did the mom at first ... but she disregards that and never apologised for anything. When you’re a parent who wants to do what’s best for your kid you forget about being independent you forget about everything else and the child must be number one priority- especially when you’re a single parent. But Ari clearly wanted to preserve her life and adjusted her kids life to fit her own and wasn’t apologetic about it.
David lied to her throughout the book. He was mostly responsable for all the bad stuff that went down in her life and didn’t say anything about it other than kidnap her to his house and put her on house arrest and then fucks her and accuses her of every bad thing that the press says. He’s been in on the background stuff that she was oblivious to and he still fucked her when she didn’t know what was happening and that’s not really consent.
Unforgivable stuff is said and done and she just forgives and forgets in the end.
It’s well written though. The author does a great job at makes this 400 pages book easy to read.
I wouldn’t mind checking out other books of this author.
