Thorn by Tracy Lorraine
2.0

I haven’t read a bully romance in a while and thought this would be a good series to start. While it wasn’t a terrible book, it wasn’t that great either.

It reads like any bully romance honestly. However, what was exhausting was Jake’s reasoning behind hating Amelie. Seriously, the author couldn’t have come up with anything else? It was immature and tiring. The amount of things he did and said to the heroine really was too much. He also really didn’t have any good qualities about him. None.

I liked Amalie for the most part. Even if she caved most of the time, she stood her ground and tried to stand up to him. Do I wish she would have just told him to f*** off and go on with her life? Yes, but then we wouldn’t really have a book would we?

The romance was okay. They had some cute moments, but it doesn’t erase the fact she was too good for him and should have let him go along his angry way.

What else made me drag the rating down was the fact that we never found out
Spoilerwho drugged Amalie’s drink at the party.
I felt like that was a crucial scene that got overlooked. Having that question unanswered really bugs me.

All in all, this was alright. Nothing memorable or anything that I’m going to come back to. I am intrigued enough to continue reading the series since I already have a few of them on my Kindle. Fingers crossed that Mason and Camila’s story is better.
