I am very picky when it comes to what I like to read. This was recommended by a friend who promised this was unlike anything else I'd ever read and to step out of my boring comfort zone.It definitely was not and I will stick to my comfort zone next recommendation.I do not like writing negative reviews. It is very, very rare for me to not finish a book and this was coming close to being the first book in four years that I did not finish.I think what kind of bothered me is that it seems like a ripoff of one of my favorite TV shows. I wondered more than once if the author is a fan of the show and if so, if she was inspired by it and this is her way of honoring said show.I disliked all of the characters. Every single one of them. Well, okay. Layla had some redeeming qualities and was the only one that I didn't want to run over with my fictional truck. Repeatedly.Not only is this a very slow read to the point that I wanted to rip my hair out, but could have used another go around with an editor as I found many misspelled words, incorrect grammar, and plenty of punctuation errors.Definitely a read for an adult who doesn't mind gratuitous language and graphic sex scenes {Note: I am over 21 and did read the warning and went by my friend's standard that it wasn't "that bad". Apparently we don't have the same standards}I do have to say that even though I didn't care for it and won't be continuing on to read the second book, I think every book should not be judged by its reviews, but read with an open mind, hence why I read it.
