1.5 Stars
I know I said in a reading update that this is a 2 star read....but I had to deduct half a star for that ending.
This book sounded like it would be a fun and sexy read. This book literally has one of my favorite tropes " One Bed". It should have been a slam dunk but this book was so disappointing. Claire our main character was annoying and Graham is giving Incel. Claire and Graham had zero chemistry. We spend the entire book hearing about how great the sex is but the book is fade to black. Now yall know I'm not huge on sex scenes but if we gonna talk about sex than we need to show something. Claire's reasoning is extremely confusing she dumps Graham in the 3rd act for no reason.
Now Graham...Graham, Graham, Graham.
I read several reviews and yall seem to love this man....why?
Graham the literal worst. Graham definitely listened to Andrew Tate at some point in his life. This nearly 40 year old man doesn't trust women because in the FUCKING eighth grade a girl rejected him and publicly embarrassed him. Who the fuck is still thinking about shit that happened in the 8th grade? I barely remember the names of anyone I went to middle school with. What kind of mentally stunted person's whole life is determined by some silly shit that happened in 8th grade. I understand that bullying can have an impact on your life but most people have let that shit go by time they are 30...let alone 40 years old. To make matters worse, Claire runs into this now grown ass woman who embarrassed Graham and she tries to "Show her what's she missing"....It's been like 25 years, that woman probably has no memory of embarrassing Graham....She was probably extremely confused.
This book made my head hurt and I won't be picking up anymore books by this author. I'm obviously in the minority with this opinion because everyone else seems to love this book and for some reason Graham. It's not for me...I'm happy it's over.
