![]() Instead, it threw all this drama out there in a very superficial manner and then resolved it all too easily. I wished the author either decided to go with the villain character and how that affected the dynamics between Kelli and Nora OR went with Kelli's family drama and how that affected them, not do all three. What was tolerable but left me with a 'eh' feeling was that I thought the book tried to tackle too much and, as a result, missed its potential. She also dissolved into a brat that lashed out at everyone around her, which was intentional by the author to serve the plot, but again it felt contrived and only made me not like her more. As a result, I was really bugged and also no longer a fan of Kelli's. What I especially had trouble with were two things: 1) The conflict that occurred between Kelli and Nora was too contrived so I was just annoyed and 2) Kelli gets physically aggressive with Nora and a villain-like character. ![]() I wished I could've liked this but I just didn't. ![]() I particularly enjoyed the dynamics between the two leads Nora and Kelli and hoped to find that spark here but ultimately it fell flat. ![]() I read the first book, "Blurred Lines", and had fun with it.
