Then, things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night. I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room.īut what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him.Īt first, I thought all he had going for him were his rock-hard tattooed abs and chiseled face. I hated that he took it out on me because he didn’t want to be here. When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a jerk he’d be. The writing, the story and the characters are immature and not really worth the read.You’re not supposed to want the one who torments you. Yes please Greta I’m begging you HAVE SOME SELF-RESPECT. Sadly, she didn’t take that advice. The only thing I agree on in this book is when Elec, himself said to Greta: At the half of the book, after years have passed I thought there would be a character development where in she becomes independent and starts standing up for herself but that didn’t happen. She just takes his verbal abuse and humiliation without even responding with witty comebacks. And maybe he felt justified when he was teenager but as an adult, he hadn’t even changed. However, Elec is just plain mean-spirited. I am all about tortured hero with attitude that hides his vulnerability. The second issue for me is the characters. I don’t even know how I was able to make myself finished it. There are so many eye-roll worthy moments. I’m sorry but I find so many things that are wrong with book.įirst of all, the writing was very poor.

I am actually thinking of not writing a review for this because all I have to say are negatives. Let’s just say, I was freaking confused that I have to double check if I am reading the right book because seriously? It didn’t live up to its hype. And seeing all these five stars reviews in Goodreads, I gave into temptation and read it. Hi Rheeza here! If you know me, you would know that I am a sucker for books about taboo topics. I had a feeling my heart was about to get broken again.

When tragedy struck our family, I’d have to face him again.Īnd holy hell, the teenager who made me crazy was now a man that drove me insane. Just as quickly as he’d come into my life, he was gone back to California.

You’re not supposed to want the one who torments you.
