・❥・ Mood of the book: ...I should hate you by Gracie Abrams

This was absolute bullshit.

End of the review.

……. Still here?

Well, welcome, I welcome you to the most dull and useless book you are going to read in your life, this review is going to be completely spoiler-free, since I am not going to bother explaining what it is about or go into specific details, because to do that, something should have happened in the whole damn book, but it didn't, nothing, nada, nichts, niente. And for what? For such a shitty ending? I could literally spit on a blank page and the result would be better than this thing.

I'm not going to lie to you, I'm speaking from anger and fury, because that's what this thing caused me. What's more, while I'm writing this I've decided to lower the score to one star, that star goes to Kai, because it's the only worthwhile thing about this book, him and his quotes and his flirtation.

Let's start with the chronology, the first 8-10% of the book is fine, it starts off fairly strong, but from there, up to in my opinion 80% of the book, is a continuous loop of repetitive dynamics, the same thing over and over again. The last 20% of the book, okay, the dynamics begin to change, it was also time for the book to contribute something decent, but, after 300 pages of absolutely nothing, the end arrives, the tension grows and grows and keeps growing and the moment arrives and…… cockblock.

The book focuses a lot on romance, but I can't believe I shoved this book down my throat in one day, to literally read 4 good scenes, a few flirtatious lines, and so that when the end comes, it's this absolute shit.

I think the author wanted to surprise with the ending, and let's say she succeeded, but unfortunately, not in the way she expected. I felt violence inside me while reading the ending, and.. just why, Lauren Roberts? I think she saw all the complaints about how predictable and plagiarized the book was and said: oh yeah? Well you'll see, how about... this??? The answer is NO, this is horrible, disgusting, harmful to look at.

Well, after releasing the venom that I carried inside me about this atrocity, I can return to my hiatus of reviews due to the exams, will I read the third one? Well of course, firstly because I'm a masochist, obviously, and second because I need to know what the hell she's going to do after this mess.
