I have this really bad habit of buying cheap e-books that I read as I'm trying to quiet my mind down at night. More often than not, they are fluffy/trashy romances. I am almost never a fan. I really need an intervention or something.

This book was so incredibly bad that mediocre would be an upgrade. There was not a unique moment to be found. Cliche after cliche and the writing was completely amateurish. I cannot believe all of the high ratings this book has.

The amount of telling instead of showing is crazy. Months of time are recounted in a couple of pages. There is not substance to be found.

The characters are just plain stupid. The female protagonist, Darcy, has a meltdown because of a situation her friend is in which makes her completely avoid Tom, the male protagonist, for weeks. Then when she sees him talking to a group of girls in a public place, she flips out. Later when she misconstrues something, he refuses to talk to her about it and avoids her for weeks. It's a bunch of angsty, pointless, manufactured drama.

Also, there are far too many side characters to keep them all straight, especially when not a single one is fleshed-out. I know next to nothing about any of them. There would be scenes with like ten different people talking, and they all sounded like the same person.

The intimate scenes aren't well written at all. I figure with books like these the least the author could do would be to write some steamy sexy scenes...but no.

I don't see myself picking up any more from this author.
