Wow, lovely, had no idea that we would get to know Patrick or Tricky's boss :D
Well, I love it :D
I had several problems with this novel, but all in all it was a good read and I enjoyed it ;)
Writing style?
Pretty similar to the other novels.
My problem is just that especially Joel has some issues that he should really deal with. Like, I'd advise him to get professional help or something cause what he does is jut not healthy. Anger issues aren't something that just go away 'cause you finally found 'the one'. You can get angry, no problem, but destroying stuff? Hurting people? Like, physically hurting them? That's a no go.
I'm just disappointed that there is no word about this at the end of the book. He just seems to let his past behind. Yeah, right. Talk about idealization.
Other than that, I think Annika was portrayed as this Russian girl who loves vodka a bit too much - I mean, alcohol in the workplace? Wth
So yeah, ... I liked the chemistry between the characters, thought that the initial idea about a reality TV show was pretty interesting and new but I just did not like Annika. I found her immoral, whiny. Yeah, she was self-confident but she was also so stuck-up, felt that she was above all the others. I did not like that. At all.
Negative points:
I think there were a bit too many 18+ scenes, had to skip those.
Also, the fight was a bit blown out of proportion.
Plus, the whole alcohol and anger issues thing was not dealt very well with.
And last but not least, there was this whole reality Tv show thing. So basically Annika loses bits of herself whenever she is at work but in the end she again just seems to be totally okay with that? In the beginning, I thought that she doesn't like to be this cold-blooded boss but then in the end, it was just like: Oh, yeah, my boss apologized, now my boss isn't that cold, now I can be like her, everything's fine.
The fact that what she as a producer has to do is totally glossed over annoyed me.
Also, the ending was just so abrupt.
I don't know, I just liked the previous instalments better :D
