Broken Trust by R.A. Smyth

2.75

• broken trust is a good name for this shit show of a book because the idiot female main character keeps getting screwed over by these boys but then immediately trusts them again just to get screwed over MORE
• like it was infuriating to read. like maybe i have excessive trust issues but this girl NEEDS more of that because she was way too naive and quick to forgive
• the MMCs in this were jackasses and also just not at all memorable, like immediately after reading i had a hard time recalling like, anything about this book lol
• it was also just way too unrealistic. like the whole “your fathers make you choose a girl to become your flavor of the month and ANNOUNCE IT IN LIKE A CEREMONY AT THE CAFETERIA DUDING LUNCH and everyone trips over themselves wanting to be her but i am special and quirky and different and don’t want to”
• and when she rejected one who she’d been bonding with a bit because he thought she’d want to be his hookup of the month and announced she was next,, he then started fucking bullying the shit out of her because he felt rejected. that’s not hot. that’s abusive.
• any satisfaction that came from the FMC’s revenge in this was taken away by the sheer stupidity she had forgiving these guys again and again just to get fucked over continuously. she overall made me angry as fuck
• i’m surprised i was able to finish this but will never be coming back to it or any of the other books in the series again, because i do not consider them redeemable in any way shape or form
