arriving at school with the help of her 3 older brothers. When she gets to her dorm she opens to the door to find her roommate getting it on with a guy and her brother’s wont let her leave the room & force her to watch 🤢 I mean, sure dude you like what you like but to make your sister watch with you… weird and gross.

I should have DNFed there. After that the story just becomes more ridiculous, annoying and over dramatic. Jaxon (our mmc) spends almost the entire book going back and forth between “No I can’t forgive her. I want nothing to do with her” to “I need her. No one else can even look at her.”

The writing itself feels clunky and repetitive. Take this excerpt for example

“After getting back to campus with a plan to spend my day working out and going over some assignments, I promptly fall asleep on the couch, not waking until nearly nightfall.
I have a lot to think about where Cass is concerned, especially after everything that happened at the wedding, and so I did the only thing that helps me sort through my head in times like these—practically kill myself in the gym. The moment I returned back to my place, I promptly collapsed on the couch, which is where I’ve stayed ever since, assuming Cass wouldn’t be back on campus until late afternoon.”

Two paragraphs in a row where Jaxon “promptly falls on the couch”

This book had so much potential but just left me feeling disappointed.
The characters were shallow & annoying. The plot felt so rushed.

Dani (our fmc) spent most of the start of the book saying she wasn’t ready for a new relationship and wasn’t in to just hooking up but by chapter 7 they’re having some hanky panky in the weight room and by chapter 12 she’s agreeing to a date with Miller. This may be due to Miller’s (our mmc) borderline creepy persistence
The second half of the book was all over the place. 3 traumatic events (all within a few chapters of each other) that get wrapped up nice and neat after a few pages. Not to mention the fact that Mia’s death literally did nothing to progress the story line. I can see how the sa and arson lead to her moving in with Miller but Mia’s death didn’t do anything for the story. It honestly felt like it was thrown in for a shock factor and extra drama (which also didn’t work too well seeing as how we had only seen Mia once before long enough to take up one page)

I just wish I had DNFed
