Stepbrothers' Darling by K.A. Knight

1.0

Dnf 39%. Was hoping thatit would get better the more I read through, but joke's on me for that one. 39% and all we've really learned is FMC is cocky, up her self and a total Mary-Sue (yep, I said it. She's the envy of all women and she makes all the males go googly-eyed for her - tell me that's not Mary Sue). Had to skip all the scenes that even mentioned dance routines (which is a large chunk of what I've read). I was curious about Liam and the story there, but that is not worth sticking this out. The men are egotistical assholes who believe they're god's gift to women - and only declare that women are good for one thing. Gag. Let's not mention how they talk to/about their father, the mystery behind their mother's, and their blatant sheer hatred for the FMC's mother - which, admittedly, is welcome. She is a nasty piece of work. But also, they judge her on some small interactions. When they're pretending they don't want anything to do with the FMC! Brain hurts a lot with this one.
I'm not even going to get into the fact that I don't even know where this is based! I know that sounds so damn silly, but it seems like we're in a rando town in who-knows-where. I'm guessing that we're in either Europe/UK/Australasia due to the spelling of "mum" and the fact all these characters are going out getting shit-faced and high at 19.

I digress. Will not get back those couple of hours I sunk into this book. You would have thought I had learned from the first book in this series... again, joke's on me...
