Review: Not well rounded

To me, this wasn't a well rounded story. I would say that quite literally over 85 percent of the book is them having sex. Now if it wasn't 300 or so pages, then that wouldn't be an issue, but it was. I got no real sense of why Flynn and Gia fell in love. I thought the author could've showed them situations where they weren't having sex, but those were few and very far between. Flynn was a complete douchebag as well. He had little to no redeeming qualities and said some pretty hurtful things to the woman he was supposedly in love with. I don't recall there being a back story of why he was like that, but it could've been said somewhere between many breathy moans of "don't stop," and him calling her bitch. Gia was annoyingly naive most times, which I guess explains why she surprised that Flynn left her instead of recognizing it as an inevitability. There were a few technical issues with the writing such as misspelled words and unclear transitions, but it wasn't that big of a problem. Overall, this was a typical good girl falls in love with the cigarette smoking, tattoo having, don't care about anyone but myself bad boy who suddenly has an epiphany out of literally nowhere and grows a heart three times it's original size. Cliche and very overplayed. But aren't all romances nowadays? I read to the end and didn't exactly feel like I wasted my time so I suppose that deserve three stars.
