Beautiful Bastard

TWO VERY DISAPPOINTED STARS

Let me just say that one of my cardinal rules in reading is to never give up on a book hoping it would redeem itself eventually. With that said...


I admit I'm one of those people. I didnt enjoy this book. When I picked it up, I was hoping that I would love it but regretfully I didnt. *sigh*

This was me when I was reading this book!

I would've given this book a lower rating if not for some of the funny moments Ben and Chloe shared. But to say that this book was a struggle to finish would be an understatement!

Ben and Chloe's internal struggles were so long and winding. I mean, man/woman up! Go get a pair and deal with it. How I lasted with all those feelings of self doubt and trying to force yourself not to fall inlove was... Argh! I dont even have a word for it!

Aside from their rants that they cant be with each other and sex then realizing they want to be together (finally!!!) then more sex there's nothing more that this book offered me.

I wish I didnt force myself to finish this book. I could've given my precious time to something else. That was two weeks (that's how much of a struggle this was) of my reading time I'll never get back! "Learn to pick your battles," my mom would say.

I seriously wanted to smash my reader because of what I'm reading but I love my reader more than the intense anger Im feeling towards the book

Would I recommend this book? Hell fucking NO!

TWO STARS

Got an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.*

Okay. Where do I start? Maybe it's just me but it took me 5 days to finish this book. It wasn't a long book so I dont understand it. I wanted to like this book (I really do) but I cant seem to get into it! 

There was more action on the last five chapters, I dont know what to make of that. But I liked how it ended since I'm such a sucker for HEA.

Here's what I thought as I read on:

1. There's too much comparison to ice or cold something.

2. There's too much i-wont-tell-you-how-i-feel-so-we-wont-get-along that lasted ten chapters. They just dont like each other so much that it felt unreal.

3. It feels like the book tarted in the middle. There sould've been atleast an introduction of some sort. Til the end of the book I dont know how old Stefan is. (or maybe I just missed it or something.)

4. Why couldnt Stefan tell Jen he loves her? And why cant Jen tell him how she felt? Was it so hard to have "The Talk"?

I was looking at the percentage so much to know if it's already ending.

Would I recommend this? Probably not. :(
