2.0

I skimmed through the heroes' chapters because he was so cringy. There is nothing attractive about this guy and his husky eyes and his saving little kids from prostitution, slavery, and death. He felt so one note and his obsession with the heroine was just because she was pretty and he wanted no one else to touch her. Really? It ain't that deep. Stalkers don't choose their victim because its some author who is pretty get out of here. There has to be more to it. And once he started getting to know her and how much of an idiot she was, if he were a real person he would've dropped her ass so fast she'd have shattered on the concrete with her one dimensional ass hanging in the air.

Gun play. Rape. The sex scenes were not worth it at all and didn't do a thing for me. The plot in this book is stupid and the writing was all over the place. It had a clear, coherent structure but the characters made no sense. All her friend wants her to do is get laid, that's her entire personality. Like, what? Why even be friends with this girl who has shitty taste in men telling you what to do with your life? Dumb.
