Is this book a Monstrosity or Perfection?

I have read so many bashing reviews of this book and to be honest they aren’t deserved. This girl, excuse my language, wrote the hell out of this book. Of course it will forever be known as a Harry Styles Fanfiction… Well for starters Harry Styles is a nice looking guy. I don’t care if he is a member or One Direction, let’s face it they are grown men now! So I have decided to give my honest review of the book. It’s so large that I had to reread it to make sure that I left nothing out. So let’s hash it out.

Ladies and Gentleman I present… the characters! (MAINLY THE HEADLINERS)

Tess: (Some Blonde Chick… Who cares?)

Hardin: Harry Styles (DUH)

Landon: Niall Horan

Zed: Zayn Malik (Duh Again)

For some great reason all young adult novels have a setting in Washington. Twilight, Thoughtless… Hell I’ll mention it again… Fifty Shades of Grey. Magic happens in this state people. Something great is happening there and all of us single women are missing out on it. There in Washington resides some sexy ass guys and I’m rather pissed I am just now figuring this out. The novel is based here at a local University. 18-year-old Teresa is the epitome of small town girl. I mean when she was described Don’t Stop Believing blared through my mind. She wore awful clothing and more importantly she was so sheltered. She was sheltered to the point of I almost making me want to slap her. Don’t be alarmed, I like to mentally beat the hell out of a lot of my book friends. Her roommate in her dorm is Stephanie and from the introduction it is immediately obvious she is a badass.

Teresa, who will from now on be known as Tess, meets Hardin returning from a shower. He’s in her dorm room apparently waiting on Steph and this guy is rude. But for some odd reason I found his rudeness to be extremely sexy. Yes, you are right how dumb? But everyone loves a bad boy. Plus, this bad boy had an accent that made hearts melt. He took an interest in her, simply put but he is a damaged soul. He fights it the entire book and he is so day and night. One moment he wants to take her on a date the next he wants her locked away far from him and is insulting her. I wanted to shake him into reality a few times. I felt like Tessa should have at least slapped the hell out of him once.

I have read reviews about Hardin being an abuser. Forgive me but I don’t see an abuser. I see a teenager who has daddy issues. He wants to be loved and it is more than obvious. I liked his back and forth and I felt that she shouldn’t have allowed him to come back if she didn’t like him. Both parties are equally dumb. I don’t want to give away everything about this book. There are so many parts to be honest I doubt that I could remember. But this is a good tale of how college can sometimes go. The ending is jaw dropping. You might want to burn the book just to get some peace, but don’t do it!  You bought it in paperback or on your kindle! Though the say the Kindle in indestructible I doubt they would survive a fire. Plus if you are a bookworm like myself you can’t live without your kindle or your lot of books. If you want to go on an emotional rollercoaster with some young adults who don’t have their shit together, you have chosen the right book. Hardin is a pain in the ass and Tess is the damsel in distress some many times I wanted to save her myself then lock her ass up.

Don’t judge a book by a review. Yes, people love to be heard and seen. I do. It’s why I have this blog. But I don’t want to discourage you from someone’s hard work. Every writer dedicated a ton of time and effort into giving you a book to read. Anna Todd, congrats girl! You had the guts to do what many writers can’t. You laid your dream characters faces and bodies out right along with their names. I love that. Every writer is stealing a face from somewhere, I don’t care if it’s a no name model or a next door neighbor… most fictional novels are fan fictions. So the fact that she just called hers out is downright awesome. Not to mention her fans are the best, I include myself in this group. Anna, You Rock. One day I’ll grow some balls and throw mine out there. Until then it’s googling popular names on the internet. J

I hope this post wasn’t to random lol I just really wanted to get that off of my chest. Read her book and then look for mine on shelves! It’s time for me to go to bed now. I have to work in the morning and then write in the night time! (Consistency is Key) #NeverGiveUp

**Happy Reading and Writing Loves**
