The Mistake
by Elle Kennedy
read for PopSugar Reading Challenge 2018: a book about or involving a sport
These books are just like cotton candy: cute and sugary sweet, while providing absolutely no substance.
Grace and Logan were fun, but once they finally got together, the stakes just disappeared. There was no longer any tension. Sure, Logan had some family issues, but it was resolved so fast and perfectly, that it didn't feel like the biggest impact on the story. As for Grace, she was cute, but looking back now I feel like I know nothing about her.
My side issues are this: there's a scene where another female character comes very close to be sexually assaulted, and I wish it had been handled more delicately. Grace comes off slightly judgy and it sucks. Also she constantly refers to her desire for neatness as "OCD." really girl? You're taking Abnormal Psych, display zero obsessions and compulsions, why are you calling being neat OCD? It feels nitpicky to critique that, but Kennedy handled discussing alcoholism more delicately, focusing on how the addiction is a disease, so those toss away comments about OCD really sucked.
