One Small Thing by Erin Watt

2.0

I picked out this book because I thought the cover was really pretty and the summary was really interesting. Not true. Just reading the first chapter I disliked Beth and Absolutely hated her parents. Not just them, but all the characters in the book were extremely unlikable.

Not gonna lie, I thought the romance between Beth and Chase was very stupid and I didn't get it. Also how did she not recognize him? I know it had been only about to years but he couldn't have changed that much. That fact that they knew each other for about thirty minutes and she suddenly just says "You wanna kiss me?" made me face palm...many times. Best part, she finds out the guy she just gave her V card to murdered her sister. I died laughing. Not because it was funny, but because of course that the one guy she chooses to hook up with is a murder, not only that but murder her sister.

There is no possible way that parents could be that over protective over their daughter. Let alone take a door off its hinges. That is just over obsessive. I know that they're grieving and just trying to keep Beth safe, but there is a line that you shouldn't cross and they're already a good couple of miles past that line. "You snuck out. We can't trust you. We quite your jobs for you, are taking away your car, and get this, we are also taking your door away!" Great parents am I right? The fact that they also won't talk about what happen also makes me dislike them more.

I knew Jeff was creepy from the start and also would try something on Beth. You could definitely see it coming from a mile away.

I never got why Beth keep trying to talk to Chase. I didn't make sense. She was so desperate to that she had to say I'm late to get him to come over to her house. Also, why her house of all places?! Her parents would probably shot him if the saw him near her.
