Since I read The Complete Duet but really wanted to leave a review, there might be some allusions to the first book I apologize beforehand.
So... this story is about Skylar, who is a college graduated and works as a columnist in the newspaper, writing a sex column... the irony here is that she is a virgin and is a complete failure as an adult I really question her half of the time because, how does she function on an everyday basis, how does she takes the subway and walk to work and do anything at all with all that anxiety, she freaked out and started avoiding a guy from her building after two less than 60 seconds interactions with him just because she had something in her teeth... seriously!? She went on a date and she treated the guy as if he was the only male left in the world and this was the beginning of forever, is this for real!? I really hated her, I have anxiety problems and let me tell you... this is far from real.
I really wanted to give these books a higher rating but the more I think about them, the least I think I liked them. Don't get me wrong, the plot is really good but I couldn't pass Skylar personality, she was annoying as hell. The only reason I finished these books was because of Ollie, he was an amazing character, so charming, cute and his vulnerability was beyond endearing, he was a consistent character through both books. Now... let's talk about Bridget, shall we? She was really good in the first book, I really liked her personality and made me want a friend like her... then the second book came around and... oh boy... that was awful, she was awful, it's not about the dating thing... it's about the lying thing. They have been friends almost all of their lives, I understand Skylar fears about her relationship (I don't condone it), I mean they are her rock through and through, and she is afraid to lose them if something goes wrong, I get that... but Bridget? She is full of nothing, what she did is unforgivable, again is not about the dating is an about the secrecy of all. I was seriously pissed about everything, I feel that their BFF relationship is superficial at best, you simply don't do that to your friends, your real best friends, rant over.
The ending was cute, just fine but I don't know, maybe this wasn't my cup of tea, maybe I'm too old for NA, but this is a definite no to me. My suggestion, read the first book, if you like it, read the next one if you don't but you really want to know what happens next, write me and I will let you know what you're missing.
