I hate writing bad reviews. I truly do. I try to only write reviews for books I absolutely love and just ignore the bad ones. But this book is so awful that I had to review it.... I want my $2.99 back!!Are people only rating this well because it's a sex book? Because I've read a lot of YA and this was a book Amazon suggested I read....so I assumed it was YA too. Not so much. It's a LOT of awful sex.The writing is atrocious. Many other people have pointed out how many awful grammar mistakes are in there. And way beyond that is the writing that's just plain awful.For instance~ each chapter is written from 1st person POV and the author rotates between Chance and Hope talking. A couple times the author forgot who she was writing for and would write it in a 1st person 3rd person combo. Like on location 3145 of 7146 (since I don't have page numbers) the chapter is from Chance's POV. But after he talks it says "Chance asked in between kisses." If I'm telling something from my point of view I'm not going to then talk about myself in third person. I have read hundreds of books and never come across mistakes as awful as these.But even all that is not why I hate the book.  These characters weren't believable. I didn't feel like I even knew them until the end. And I ONLY read because I wanted to write a review, otherwise I would have stopped reading after chapter one. The writing is awkward. And wooden. The dialogue between characters is really cheesy. This has got to be the author's first ever book. Honestly it feels like a high school kid wrote this. Someone who may have had some good creative ideas but no idea how to actually write them out.Supposedly these two were madly in lust for each other from the very beginning but I never felt that they actually got along because the author didn't do a good job telling us what they felt about one another. Just that they met and had sex. Ridiculous. It was like hearing too sticks were having sex because we weren't emotionally involved in their relationship. We didn't know about them.And even the parts of the characters we do get to find out about were absolutely detestable. Chance calls Hope a bitch. A couple of times! And to her face! And they're sleeping together? Never in my life have I read a book that does that. Only villains call girls that... and that's because it's an awful word. The writer crossed the line. Girls can call each other bitches all day long, but have a guy who loves her call her that and it's over. I never bought their romance. It was so immature and cheesy.If you're going to read a good book then keep on looking cause this ain't it. Read Tamara Webber or Liz Reinhardt.
