Flawless by Elsie Silver
3.5
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
Things I liked:
  • The plot
  • The tension building
  • The father-daughter relationship
  • The spicy scenes

Things I did not like: 
  • I could not passably believe summer was his agent. She was unprofessional the whole book. 
  • Rhett is an absolute man-child. I found it very hard to find him likable.
  • "I'm not possessive, I'm protective" was not true at all. I'm alright with possessive MMCs but this wasn't doing it for me. Felt a little gaslighting.
  • Punch anyone you don't like? Glad to see we're back in the schoolyard.
  • Blatant hypocrisy in thoughts. "I can't judge a book by it's cover," regarding Summer, when literally a paragraph above, Geoff was pegged as a manicure loving city boy?
  • "I think I loved you from the first time I saw you and you give me that smirk I hated." We can't just rewrite what happened? They genuinely found each other annoying. There's no "I loved you then because I love you now."

I'm likely going to give the second one a go just because it feels less likely that Cade will be as childish.
