This story was
mediocre. Reading this book felt like an
obligation and I hate feeling that way.
I had to force myself to finish this book because the characters just
was not interesting to me.
I guess I already
told you how I felt about it, so you are probably wondering what was this book
all about? Basically it is about
roommates who have sex and falls in love, that is about it. Well…I guess I do owe you a real review, so I
will tell you the blurb. Don’t get too excited though. 😏
This book is part of
a popular series called Misadventures
and the books are written by different authors and each book is a
stand-alone. I think there about 15, if
I'm not mistaken. Anyways, this story
gives us Blake, a quirky, non-filter having girl with a dry sense of humor and
we have Gavin, a photographer and the complete opposite of Blake. Blake and Gavin are actually co-workers at a
local coffee shop and Blake's roommate just moved out and Gavin needs a place
to sleep. So why not move in together
after knowing each other for about a week.
Its fate, I tell ya. So they move
in together, get it on, and someone catches feelings. Can you guess who it was? It isn't who you think it is.
The one thing that I
liked about this book was the role reversal with the emotional unavailable
character and the character willing to have a relationship. In this case, the former would be Blake and
the latter would be Gavin and that kept the book a little interesting. Their relationship was cute in its own way
and Gavin really carried this story with his humbleness. He was sweet, he had aspirations, and mommy
and daddy issues. It gave his character
depth and heart and I am so thankful for that because Blake did not. Blake was very mysterious with a troubled childhood
who also had mommy and daddy issues, but in a totally different context. There were some humor here and there and
their heart to heart was moving.
Now I have to tell
you what I DID NOT like about this story.
I felt like the author was trying too hard with the Blake
character. She was supposed to be this
eccentric, weird individual with dry humor, but she came off as childish and
that really bothered me. The pacing was
slow and nothing was happening. It took
me waaaaay too long to finish this book because I lost interest in the
characters. I have read about 5 of the
misadventures books and I really only liked only 3 of them. I don’t think that I would be reading anymore
of these. These books do nothing for me
and it has no real story line. I was so
relieved when I finished this book, so I can move on to my next book. 😌
