No, no, no...NO

I was SOOOOOOO looking forward to this book. I LOVED Holly and Jackson in the first book and I was really looking forward to reading their story.



But this was a fucking mess.

Holly was a mess.

Jackson was a mess.

The plot and flow? You guessed it.

Fucking. MESS.

I'm gonna try to keep this vague to avoid spoilers, but here goes...

First...Holly.

I liked her in the beginning. Feisty. Talks shits. Abrasive.

I like it.

But then I don't like it.

Because that feisty abrasive shit talking suddenly gets skanky and indecisive. And selfish. And ridiculous.



And NO.

Second, Jackson.

Fucking.
Smoking.
Hot.

Great tension. Great dirty talk. GREAT sexy time. And then?

Fucking. Smoking. Train wreck.

Bad words. Bad thoughts. BAD decisions. So. Pointlessly. Bad.



So NO.

Third, the plot.

Small town...BIG problems.

Constant, catastrophic, and unrealistic "I-can-only-suspend-my-beliefs-so-far" problems.

Emotional reactions that don't fit these constant, catastrophic, and unrealistic problems.

Choppy, choppy, choppy--like this review choppy-- flow of emotion and circumstances.



Again, NO.

By the end I was waiting for skanky Holly and retarded Jackson to just go away together. To JUST. GO. AWAY. Period.

And then maybe have something fucking ridiculous happen to them.

Like they get blown up in an explosion.
Or washed away in a flood.
Or burned to death in a fire.

But those things all happening in one single book would be overkill I suppose, right?

...Right???

NO????
