When We Lied by Claire Contreras
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
DNF @ 30 %.
This can’t be the follow up to Until I Get You. No way. This is nothing like it. This doesn’t even seem like the same author wrote it. Until I Get You was exciting, captivating, made me want to put everything aside so I could sit down and get lost in that book. This on the other hand, I’m forcing myself to get through the chapters, expecting something to happen. It honestly seems more like something very major happened but it wasn’t shown. Something happened to Finn’s sister, what exactly we don’t know, but it’s important enough to make him obsessed with Josslyn. What?? How does that even happen? In a search to find answers you throw yourself at this girl every chance you get? Not buying it. There’s also nothing like-able about Finn. He’s giving fedora wearing, malady, “why don’t you like me, I’m a good guy” vibes and it’s giving me very strong ick. And every time he’s described as this mysterious, macho-man, womanizing hockey player, I just can’t get that in my mental image.
