The Pact by Karina Halle
2.0
I was borderline DNF with this book. It was okay. I didn't hate it but I was extremely bored with it very quickly.
For the first half of the book the only clue you get that Steph and Linden will even be remotely close to more than friends is a ridiculous pact and a few 'I checked him out' or 'he was so f**king sexy' - yeah, no I wasn't feeling that. The writing lacked in descriptive details that made me visualize the characters or click with them on an emotional level.
I simply didn't care who they were with. They were each with other people the whole first half and I thought meh, who cares. In this type of book I should have been hating the boy/girl friend and be like "AHHHH they need to be together" I didn't feel that.
Then there was James, what a ninny. I was reminded of Jane from the Brady bunch; "Marsha! Marsha Marsha!" Except James was all "Linden! Linden! Linden!" What kind of friend is THAT jealous that they don't want them to be happy?? I just wanted to call him out for being a whiny punk.
