One Tough Cookie by Delise Torres
3.0
I wanted to love this, but unfortunately, I had a few issues with it. The main character is so unlikable, she is rude and mean to everyone around her, especially her friends. There is character growth but it happens almost 70% into the book, so it was hard to get into the story because there was no progress with the main character for so long. Still, I did appreciate the work the main character put into becoming a better version of herself by the end of the book.
Besides that, there was a love interest that at the beginning was basically a saint because he was patient and understanding beyond normal levels, no matter how rude and hurtful the main character was. He didn’t have a personality beyond that, so I found him boring. And then, by the end, he became really pushy and, while I understand that he had been very patient before, it was annoying to see how when the main character finally started to work on herself and needed some time to grow, he wouldn’t give her the time and space to do that.
Still, the writing was really good, so I definitely want to check out another book by this author in the future.
