I don’t know how Sara Ney writes these douchebags
that make me fall in love with them so hard. My first taste for her writing
style was The Studying Hours and I was obsessed. I couldn’t get enough of the
writing or characters and as soon as I had the opportunity to get my hands on
this one I jumped at it.
I was really apprehensive that this one would
fall flat and I would walk away disappointed. Thankfully I needn’t have
worried. Although I do have to admit I did prefer the first book, I did love
this one and I am thoroughly enjoying not just Sara’s impeccable writing but
also her amazing characters.
I knew going in that Zeke was a huge jerk. After
reading book one and seeing everything he put James and Oz through along with
his general mannerisms I didn’t think there was any way I could have liked him.
And even as I got to know him and saw his redeeming qualities I still found
myself wanting to kick him in the dick for his stupid behaviour and even dumber
verbal diarrhea.
And then there was sweet and delicate Violet who
I loved from the first instance. She had so many reasons to be miserable and
self-pitying and despite the fact she was so broken she still didn’t take any
shit from Zeke. I loved her character, I wanted to wrap her up in cotton wool
and keep her safe from all of Zeke’s bullshit.
But of course Zeke was a redeemable arsehole and
he stepped up and sorted his baggage out and I loved them as a couple. I just
wish there was more of them together as their chemistry was amazing and they
complemented each other so beautifully. They were two halves of a broken whole
and watching them mend themselves individually and together was beautiful. And
now I just have to go back to stalking Sara so I can find out who the next
douchebag will be.
