The Stopover
by T.L. Swan
Jesus fucking Christ??? This book is SO bad.
This could be because I read it in an Ebook format, but the scene transitions made absolutely zero sense. For example, they could be talking in his bedroom. Then the following line is about her walking into the office?? PLEASE write shorter chapters instead of doing transitions like that since there are also *Seven hours later* transitions. It's confusing, displays poor writing skills, and is overall ugly formatting.
The two main characters of this novel are both incredibly selfish and immature.
They did nothing other than arguing or have sex. They only had meaningful talks after sex or in between arguing. The last three-quarters of the book was pretty much just the same scene rewritten repeatedly. They talked, fought, had sex, and made up... REPEAT.
Jameson is controlling, abusive, and obsessed with Emily, as we see as he stalks her at work and practically demands that she moves in and marries him after just days before snapping over the thought that she's in love with him. The constant push/pull from him is exhausting.
Emily...oh Emily. Her personality is all over the place where she practically demands from herself that she is not "easy" or a "pushover" and that she "will not sleep with him," and then she goes right ahead and sleeps with him because he complimented her once.
Don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with wanting to and sleeping with someone interested in you. BUT she goes on and on about how she won't do it and then does it repeatedly.
I originally picked this book up because it's marketed as smut, but even that sucked and was fade to black numerous times?? A SMUT BOOK?? WITH FADE TO BLACK???
