Am I smoking crack here? Why was no one else IRRITATED by the constant catch phrases? In the first book, they were kind of cute and meaningful but here, they were just irritating as all hell. I would have thought that Will, as a former teacher, would have a greater understanding of that.Ĥ) The catch phrases. However, it is never okay to threaten another student with DEATH, regardless of the reason.

If his brother had gotten into a fight over a girl's honor, I would get that. I'm not saying he has to be a perfect parent, I know I'm not, but those types of things are no joking matter, regardless of the reason. Wouldn't he? Instead, Will thought that it was FUNNY that his younger brother death threatened another student and didn't want to punish him AT ALL.

So when his brother writes a note in school threatening to KILL someone, you would think that Will would realize how serious that is. Let me remind you all that Will was a teacher and wants to go to grad school to keep teaching. Who is this guy? This Will is so stupid I could barely read about him.ģ) Bad parenting 101. This new Will thinks it is acceptable to disable someone's car battery in order to get them to ride in a car with you (WTF!!!!), hold a present from one's deceased mom hostage (yea, he did that), and threaten a 12 year old kid with ass kicking and call him a pathetic human being. Does anyone remember the Will from 'Slammed'? Anyone? The Will that was a responsible teacher? The one that was level-headed and took responsibility for his actions? The one that weighed the pros and cons of every decision? Well, apparently he is gone now and this new Will has taken his place. They are freaking 19 and 23 years old!!! They whine and complain and oh GOD it was annoying.Ģ) The stupid stuff that Will does.

Just childish misunderstandings and petty fighting. Lake throws tantrums constantly (Will's words, not just mine), and Will somehow thinks it is acceptable to use his 10 year old brother and neighbor to do his dirty work for him. Holy hell Will and Lake act like children in this book! It is like they regressed mentally in the past year since 'Slammed' and now function only as pissy children. I mean over 45,000 ratings and a 4.40 average GR rating? I must be losing my mind? Maybe that is it? But let me break it down for you all why this book is on my craptastic book list:ġ) The immaturity of the MCs. However, I'm in suck-ville and I am hating it here.Īlso, everyone else seems to LOVE this book. I loved Hopeless and Slammed so I had no reason to suspect that this book would be taking the fast train to suck-ville. I am going to start by saying that I know Colleen Hoover is capable of writing very wonderful books. Somebody talk me down from this rant I'm about to deliver. I'm all worked up about how much I hated this book. Ohhhh boy I'm steamed, I'm really steamed here.
