I'll be honest, I started this series for the forbidden romance, will they/won't they energy, and sneaking around hook-ups. That's what I liked about the first book, it wasn't anything to do with their true love and the overall plot. Imagine my disappointment when the second book absolutely obliterated all of that. I try not to complain too much or have too high of expectations for this genre, but it blows my mind how many men (of seemingly all ages) are pining for this basic, 20 year-old college girl. And how they all just randomly kiss her? And she's cool with it? Couldn't be me. Also, I can't imagine my boyfriend's brother openly speaking to me the way Rob does to Penny. It's like sex and objectifying women are his only personality traits...

This story started off at a decent pace but then it got so slow in the second half. There was so much back and forth BS between all of the characters that just seemed like filler writing. Nothing makes me more irate than when I remember these two have only been together for like a month and a half and they're already

deeply "in love", moving in together, fully dependent on one another and ENGAGED?!

The immaturity spills out of these characters like a damn waterfall. I also did not understand the inclusion of the new male character, Brandon, who has an instant infatuation with Penny, and then after seeing her go back to Prof. Hunter (gag me), proceeds to disappear from the story until the second to last chapter. I got so excited when we met him, I thought we were going to have a really sexy love triangle going on...but no. ALSO, the fact that her parents were unsupportive of their relationship when they revealed Hunter's age and then found out he was worth billions and were cool after that...nah. My mom would rock my sh!t if I brought home anybody and claimed to be desperately in love after a month of knowing each other. 

The writing is so mediocre in these books and it is so difficult to ignore. There were several editing mistakes in the book and, honestly, I saw better quality writing skills on wattpad when I was 13. I keep reading other two star reviews and I'm agreeing with everything they say. I honestly could write a full essay on why this book was a dumpster fire. Not going to lie though, I'll definitely be finishing this series for the sole purpose of seeing how much crazier and unrealistic it gets.
