Bad Girl Reputation
by Elle Kennedy
1⭐️
This was so boring. Evan acted like a brat 99% of the book and Gen had the personality of a piece of a blank paper. This is a prime example of the author telling what a character’s like instead of showing it.
I was hoping the addiction and alcoholism would play a bigger part in the story, because that was at least interesting. Sorry but Gen being a recovering alcoholic (or so were TOLD) and drinking wine because “it’s just one glass” is so dumb I wanted to dnf the book right there. This glass of wine is never mentioned again.
Also Evan was painted as at least struggling with drinking in the first book, but the way alcoholism is portrayed in this book is laughable. You don’t want to be an alcoholic? Sure thing, with a snap of fingers you’re cured! Wow!
Over all this was one of the worst books I’ve ever read. And I like Elle Kennedy. I was just so disappointed in the way the character’s issues were portrayed and insta-solved. If you don’t know how to write about alcoholism, don’t do it.
