Pretty Reckless
by L.J. Shen
I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review. Thank you!
I've never been so conflicted over a rating for a book. While this is a high school bully romance and I'm still not sure that it was for me, it wasn't all bad?
The banter and dialogue is witty and the pace is fast. I also paired this with the audible narration and it could not have been narrated by better voice actors.
I guess because the characters are just not likable for the majority of the book I'm not sure if that's a stylistic choice because of the bully romance or if I just didn't like that the book itself has SEVERAL unlikable characters. Because let me tell you, none of these characters should have been as awful as they were. I couldn't figure out why Penn or Daria fell in love. What about each other was there to love, while they were so busy being so hateful?
I'm glad there was some redeeming towards the end and the HEA was sweet.
