A review by dianaandthebookhunt
The Rake by L.J. Shen

3.0

I can't give this book less than 3 stars, because it was better than the last 2, but there was still cringe worthy writing, references & metaphors that had me grinding my teeth, rolling my eyes and honestly almost breaking out in hives. It had potential for more, but I'm now honestly convinced that the writer is a one trick pony.

All her heroines have passive aggresive issues, all her heros we're told are assholes or have trouble feeling, but are not shown that. I hate it when we get told who someones is instead of shown. It seems like lazy writing to me.
