omqchristi 's review for:
Girl in Luv
by Rebecca Yarros, Jay Crownover
Ratings:
Stars: 2/5
Readability: 5/5
Plot: 3/5
Recommend: No
Summary:
Langley needs a fake date for her stepsister's wedding (where she will be marrying her ex-boyfriend). She meets Iker and lucky for her, he is in need of cash. They make a plan to ruin the wedding.
(Sorry for the bad summary, I'm just so tired of them. I'm not doing them next year.)
What I Liked:
The ending, up until I found out there was a sequel. And then it got slightly better? Not gonna lie, a duology seems like a good plan and way to explore this story more, but regardless, I liked how this book ended (except one part) with themnot being together .
What I Didn't Like:
I didn't like the fact that the guy already felt insta-love from the beginning. Not only that, but the situation where they met was odd (specifically, his intentions). He didn't want to associate with her, so he didn't look at her, but then followed her and defended her? Or the fact he really liked her, but didn't tell her he was leaving to her face, what a cowardly and unloving thing to do.
The fact that they had to emphasize how different Langley was from the other girls. This book really relied on the fact that all of the rich daughters were selfish bitches that only like drama (except for Langley, of course). Do anything to make your protagonist look good, right?
Another thing was the whole family dynamic between the Vaughns. Especially the miscommunication thing between Langley and her dad. But overall, Langley is stupid for making herself miserable for her dad. Her dad is stupid for not noticing how his new wife and stepdaughter are treating his daughter. Her stepmom is stupid for believing everything her daughter does is amazing and that Langley stopped anyone from having a proper relationship. And her stepsister is stupid for thinking that Langley has it the best and that all the greatest things belong to her. They are all stupid.
Also, another thing I hated, the fact that out of everyone, it was Iker who understood Langley. Langley is the complete opposite of her stepsister and their life, so they don't get along. However, Langley is also the complete opposite of Iker and his life, yet they get along fine. I think it's just Langley who thinks she's better than her stepsister all the goddamn time, thus why her stepsister felt like she needed to get a one-up on her all the time. She only got along with Iker because she let him into her life in ways that she didn't to others. She only got along with Iker because they were gonna ruin her stepsister's wedding. I don't care that they cheated on you (yes that's horrible), but the fact that they ARE GETTING MARRIED says something, no?
Overall:
Essentially, Langley is an "I'm not like other girls" person and I hate that. No one in this book has any personality, at all. Everyone is stupid and unrealistic.
