Someone Else's Fairytale by E.M. Tippetts
1.0
I finished (I was thinking of dumping it but stick with it somehow till the very end) this thing but still couldn't put myself to give this more than 1 star (And it deserves less than that in my opinion) and I'm feeling like a bitch since the author requested for reviews (Obviously good) and recommendations at the end note. But I'm just a bitch I guess, sorry!
The whole thing and set up was way over the top, but that was all right, because reading books that has plots 'larger than life' generally has positive effects on me since I kinda like sappy romantic sobbing dramas, but this book couldn't do it for me. I'll start off by venting about the characters.
Chloe: The protagonist whose POV we get. She's an all right girl who's the product of a cheating established dentist and her immature mother. She's a tragic heroine with a horrific past when she got shot by her stepbrother (Still not sure of the reason, her stepsister sounded all right to me) and later there are some court stuffs to send this guy to prison again as he's clearly still not ready to give up on killing her. She's different in the same old 'She's-so-special-she-doesn't-care-I'm-a-hollywood-star-kinda-way'. Pretty sure you got my point by now, moving on.
Jason: The hero who's a hero, literally. Hordes of female fans are dying to lay themselves at his feet but he has got it bad for Chloe, of course. Author tried to make him a tragic scarred kind of way by throwing some of his past but that just felt superficial.
Mathew: The SOB best friend of Chloe who made her feel and fell for him and then abandoned her giving the silly reason of 'You're-not-religious' and 'I-was-just-jealous-to-see-you-with-another-guy'. Even being an asshole he's the character that felt most real because I actually know a person like that in real life (Yeah, you guessed it, I was once Chloe who met Mathew, but where's my Jason? Talk about life being unfair hmph! Okay getting distracted here, earth to Nadia!). So yeah.
Kyra: Oh my gosh! She's a nightmare gone real I'm telling you! She's Jason's stepniece who has it bad with a guy called Nate and wants to get married but can't due to her parents interruption, but she won't stop prying into Chloe and Jason's relationship, I mean how twisted is that? I could kill her she was so pathetic argghh! Chloe is an angel who tolerated and even liked this pain-in-the-ass, of course.
All the other characters are more or less either good or bad, nothing amazing.
Apart from lousy characters, this book has no actual plot or anything, not even a twist for that matter. We have our tragic hero and heroine who are supposedly strong because they hold themselves together. The first half of the book was Chloe falling for Jason (Jason said 'I love you' within a couple of days of meeting Chloe let me remind you, Chloe took a little longer than that, bravo girl!) and the second half was Chloe being pathetic for being a virgin and not willing to change that for Jason even when he says he's okay with it (Not a common guy what did I tell you?).
Yeah I'm a bad person who writes long reviews with rants but nothing about books she likes (Generally). Go ahead and judge me, peace out!
