UUgghhh I just didn't like this book really..... I'm not even going to rant about it so I'm just going to give it a brief review.
“I’m gonna take a minute here because you seriously need to understand how magnificent this guy is.”
Cameron Ramsey starts public school after being home-schooled for most of her life. Trying to fit in, Camie is worried about starting off in a whole new environment and throughout the book she comes to find that she is quite inexperienced in reading people, especially Tristan Daniels.
Tristan Daniels on the other hand is just your normal hot high school hero who hooks up with girls on a regular basis. Relationships are not his thing but when he sees Camie, he's drawn to her like never before.
There's not much to say because not much happens if I'm being quite honest. The whole story is the two trying to be together in a sense that things keep happening that sets them off due to Camie's lack of experience and Tristan's reputation.
With Camie being 15 I found her very annoying to read about since she knew absolutely nothing about liking guys and every single thing needed to be not only questioned and considered but analyzed and it just sort of drove me insane. Maybe it's a personal thing so I don't want to go on about it much. Also her mother has cancer, but does it matter?? Well it certainly doesn't seem to be on Camie's mind much which made me wonder, what was the point in putting that detail in at all? I'm guessing it'll come to play later on in the series to create drama but to use it for that sake with a lack of consistency doesn't appeal to me in terms of the idea and sense of thinking and where the story is going. Otherwise she was a pretty quirky character.
For Tristan Daniels... well he was just a guy. There wasn't anything exceptionally great about him. He wasn't great with words or actions, maybe witty in some parts, but he wasn't very romantic or badass or anything like that so the story was quite dragging for me because it was just quite basic, not even typical because it wasn't like 'bad-boy-with-messed-up-problems' hits on 'girl-running-away-from-more-problems'. Tristan might have had a bit of a bad attitude but not very any particular reason. Which I found kind of senseless.
This book just wasn't for me I'm afraid.
