The Do-Over
by T.L. Swan
I was super hyped to read the fourth and last book in this series after liking the first three. But this is definitely my least favorite book in the series and my least favorite mmc by a landslide. It was all together fine but not great.
Christopher pissed me off for like 95% of this book. He had some really good moments and I love how in love with Hayden he fell but this 32 year old was more like a horny teenager for the majority of the book.
Christopher is a really a moron. There were pages dedicated to him not understanding how a sleeping bag fits in its own sleeping bag cover. The realization was to “roll” the sleeping bag up first. He also didn’t know how to get a taxi or an Uber. This is a man who partially runs a bazillion dollar company. Didn’t understand the concept of bunk beds. Literally ran out of a woman’s house because she had a bush. I repeat, moron.
It started to get good and again I loved Christopher and Hayden’s relationship SOME of the time and I understand Christopher’s deception at first even for the first couple of months but to lie to your girlfriend for a fucking year about who you are is insane. And then for him not to understand why she’d be mad that he literally lied to her for a year??? He grew zero during that year that should have humbled him. This moron needed to have his brothers explain to him why Hayden would be upset by this. But she got over it in less than 24 hours. I think I’m mad about it longer than she was. All he does is talk about how perfect she is but any time she shows any bit of negative emotion and he blows up at her. Literally unless she was being a stepford wife he couldn’t handle her.
And then Christopher just like randomly adopting a teenager. I know it was supposed to be sentimental and sweet - and it was - but I couldn’t stop laughing.
Whatever, it was fine and Christopher makes amends during the last like five pages of the book but these boys should really aspire to be more like their brother Tristan. Tristan knows where it’s at.
3.5. Enjoyable but not great. And too long.
