First Addition by Kelsey Soliz
3.0
2,5 stars
I really wanted to like this book but.... the characters were just so meh, so 2D (and I can barely describe them). Everything was about her... and not in anyway significant for something other that "oh she is hot. I got have her. Oh we are married forever ? Doesnt matter I love you even though we have gone 1 date together!".
And world-building? Whodat?
Seriously, I would say this book is way too focused on the relationships but guess what?... There was no relationship, you know the ones where people actually want the other for something else than their hawt body? None of that.
And the heroine? I mean this is her way to choose men : "Not sleazy, not too douchy, and says he wants me". Those are the only critera and she will go out with you.
Btw, the all thing about being an independent woman fucking lasted 1 week in the book.
This book UTTERLY lacks world building, people building, relationship building, description building, whatever.
This was bland.
From the first pages I knew this book was going to be mediocre. But somebody said that the Hemlock Academy series was like another version of the Artemis University, and those did getter better and were relatively good (with world building and a plot! A plot!! Something other than "omygawdsheissohot gnnnee lets all get hitched when we barely know each other gneeee"). So I wanted to give it a try.
Waste of my time, money, and discernement.
No fucking clue why people put 4 and a half stars.
