Not Okay, Cupid by Heidi R. Kling
3.0
I received a review copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I think that this is a cute cover although a bit cheesy but I don't mind that for this particular cover as it's in keeping with the story. I wouldn't say that the models are a perfect match for the main characters although the guy reminds me a little bit of Felix.
Not Okay, Cupid was an okay book but some of the things that happened just didn't sit right with me. I felt like the book never really took off, I think it needed to be a bit longer so parts of the story wasn't rushed. The romance side of the story wasn't completely believable as I didn't see them as a couple as well as it coming out of the blue. There was some moments that I felt there was some spark but in the end there just wasn't enough chemistry. The whole reason for the revenge was awful I can't believe someone who love and trust would do something like that and then not to take responsibility for what she had done was even worse. I didn't get that people was still unaware of what took place especially when it was in front of a full canteen. I thought the ending was really cute but I do wish it went into the future to see how things are going.
The two main characters where the most likeable characters in this book with the rest annoying the hell out of me well apart from Hazel's mum she came across well. Hazel I really felt for with everything that had happened to her and then for her still show strength was amazing. There was moments that Hazel did annoy me though. Felix I liked and even though he was portrayed as a 'bad boy' I felt like he was more of the good guy. As for Hazel's best friend she just didn't come across well at all and I don't understand why they where friends in the first place. Then Hazel's ex-boyfriend came across just as bad as the best friend.
Overall, there was some really cute moments but for the most part I felt that it just didn't go anywhere for me to really get into it.
