My Thoughts <3
Rating this book is kind of hard because I really enjoyed the story, but there were a few things that I would have liked to seen more of. I can say that I thought that the author did a great job in conveying the meaning and I freaking loved the premise, I am just greedy and needy and would have liked more haha! To me, this book is a 4-4.5/5!
This premise is so freaking good! Betty has been with Thom for over a year but she is bored, he is not what she wanted even if she thought it was. All of this changes when boom goes the dynamite and Betty finds out that Thom is not what he seems.
In terms of the characters, I liked Betty, I thought she was strong and dealt with the situations that were thrown at her extremely well, let’s just say that I would not have probably been able to do the same! She is strong, hilarious, and extremely caring. Thom is more of an enigma, the man that she thought she loved is so VERY different from who he actually is. You can tell how much he cares about her but is not used to conveying it. These two had some very sweet moments, some super hot moments, and some freaking hilarious bickering moments. There were a couple of times where it seemed a little forced, but it was not often. I loved the ending and how everything played out!
All in all, I did really enjoy this book and liked the story, the characters, and the situations and I would recommend it to someone else who likes a side of action with their romance!
Thanks Kylie Scott and Social Butterfly PR for providing me an advanced copy so that I could read and review it early!
