Psych Major Syndrome by Alicia Thompson
3.0
What’s there to say about Psych Major Syndrome. Well, it was another book I was psyched to read (pardon the pun), but that didn’t fully deliver. It was fun as long as it lasted and I finished it in one night, but it didn’t really make a lasting impression. I knew up front that it would be very predictable, but I actually didn’t care. With books like these, the journey is the destination.
Yet, I was often annoyed by Leigh’s douche bag boyfriend and they way she let him treat her – and still believed she loved him despite the obvious signs against it. Nathan was definitely a crush-worthy love interest (guitar playing math major!!) though and he and Leigh had a great chemistry. Loved the scenes when the two of them were together.
Still, too many of the side characters seemed more like caricatures of themselves than real people for this to end up being a favourite. Especially the way the poetry writing Chinese student and Circe-du-Soleil lover Tim were described did not sit well with me. It was so over the top, but in a very condescending manner.
