A review by molly_reads82
Filthy Rich Boys by C.M. Stunich
2.0
Storyline was there, but had the wrong character age
Let me start and say that with this storyline, it had the makings of a good bully romance. All the boxes were checked to keep it in that specific trope, which is why I gave it more than one star. The thing that made me give this a rating so much lower than what it could have been is the freaking age of the characters!!! I am a fiction reader, so I know how to suspend belief while I'm reading. But all of the things these characters did and said and the ways in which they reacted and interacted was soooooo not befitting 15 year olds!!! I don't care how rich they're written to be, it was way too much of a stretch to imagine FRESHMEN IN HIGH SCHOOL doing these things! Freshmen in college maybe, but most definitely not freshmen in high school. Now, if the author went back and simply changed their ages, if definitely change my rating and review. Sad that she made this decision with such a solid base for a story idea...
