No More Booklikes, BYE

This book, this book has me stumped, did I like it or not ? I read it and I'm still unsure what it was. I went from ohhhh, to huh? to WTH ? and oh just shut up, through most of the first 3/4.  I picked it up based on the author. I did not know anything about it, I didn't even read the back cover blurb before diving in.  I'm not sure if this is NA YA or what it read like a YNA. I'm not found of the NA gene so far. 

The first 85 pages where a trip down a familiar path. They covered details, personalities and story line almost exactly like my favorite series The Fever series, by KMM.  I could tell you how but that might spoil some of the "surprise" for you. Bottom line I did not like Ivy the MC.

The story wobbled along, with her (Ivy) having many TSTL moments with the oh so sickening "I can change him" bursts in reality. Holy dumbness, this guy was terrible and she spent all her energy forgiving him, making excuses for him, taking all his negative comments and twisting them to her view. (oh excuse me I just got nauseous) What on earth is this silly idiotic girl thinking ? I know he really didn't mean that, I know he really wants me and I'm going to fix him ! (oh there goes my stomach again) I hate this unrealistic goal that so many women believe, they can " fix" people. To read it for entertainment purposes, not very entertaining.

Let's talk about love, no lust, no surreal bonding, no emotional abuse. Geesh, what a surge of hot, cold, freezing, hot, lust, cold hate, want, need, hate, leave. I thought I was reading a YA at one point it was so immature, then it went to NA Smexy, with total acceptance of arseholeness. The lusty moments where good, but then they where cut off and thrown into the unbelievable pile. I never got a complete moment out of these two, their relationship was totally confusing.

I enjoyed the last 1/4 of the book more. It raced through some serious action with all kinds of dangerous beauties and badness. Then it crashed and burned my jaded heart with a last " I can change him ! " not this poo pile again. Arugh !!!

Wow, looking back I didn't like it much did I ? It was hard for me to get over some of the really immature views of the MC. We all have our little peeves and Ivy just whacked mine over and over. Overall I did like the book enough to give book 2 a shot, a free shot from the library. It's a borrow book for me.
