On Guard by J.R. Gray, Andi Jaxon

emotional tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

The book had a promising start but as you got further in it became rather mixed up. The characters seemed to contradict themselves, one minute Oliver was saying he would never date anyone then he was all over Isaac, saying he could t even talk to anyone else, then he was all over him but then saying no one could know and they had to pretend to hate eachother. The same went for Oliver's parents, one minute they are very conservative and there is talk of arranged marriages, then it's like they completely forget about their views and his mother can't wait to take her gay son shopping. By the end of the book I just didn't care about the characters or the plot any more.
