Nooit Verliefd Worden by Audrey Carlan
2.0

I'm reading this one book a month with BooksEverAfter, but I've got a 3-in-1 book from the library so I'm reading ahead.

January ★★☆☆☆
Had to get used to the writing style and the choice of words. It became very Bouquetstyle after that, when she met the guy. I was very underimpressed. But soon, it became interesting, well, a bit addictive to read. I quite like the guy and I'm really curious to how this continues.

February ★☆☆☆☆
Hmm, liked the first one better. He is just not my type. Let's see what March brings and if I'm continuing this series in April.. But for now, #teamwes

March ★★★☆☆
I like this was better! I like the characters and I like the storyline of this one. I still think the whole idea behind the series is quite meh.
SpoilerIf she stays with Wes, she gets all the money AND the guy of her dreams, so I think it is a bit stupid stubborn to continue with the plan because she wants to.. If it was the contract as an argument or so, ok, but she really says she wants to continue.. Of course she meets a lot of interesting people but that part is a bit meh to me. Oh and why doesn't Wes just rent her for the rest of the year? BTW, I'm also missing something in the book that has to do with a 28 days cycle in women.. ;)


Those are all arguments for me to not like this entire series enough to continue reading. BUT, as I'm reading this with my bookclub BooksEverAfter, we are talking about the first book of those three and this discussion is lovely, really fun to participate. I will see in April how many people are still reading and if the discussions are still as lively as this month, I will continue because it is so much fun to talk about this :)
