Review: Barely bearable
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 12 9, 2013
Let me star off with; I ADORE the cover!I’ve read a lot of book about the innocent girl heading off to college with her mind set on change, and most of them have been really good and they all turn out completely different. 3:AM has a really good set up, but it’s so fixated on the sex Baya is not having it kinda overshadows the rest of story.She meets Bryson and sparks fly, but when she realizes he’s the campus player and that she has the hot’s for him everything he say is a sexual innuendo in her head. The most common, innocent sentence has her head reeling with “What did he mean? Did he mean it literally or is there a hidden meaning? Does he get a boner by just looking at me as I do him?” I get that she wants to be viewed as something else than a 15 year old little sister but it gets down right ridiculous.I almost DNF’ed it after I’ve read a quarter but Bryson and his past had me keep reading. He’s without a doubt the only thing that makes this book bearable. Well, he and Laney but she has such a small part she doesn’t make much of a difference.  Bryson is a good character, not a phenomenal one but a good and all over likable one.In the last half of the book when Baya starts looking for something else than for somebody to “defile her”  out comes a pretty okay story. It’s a bit chopped up and it all happens very fast at the end but it’s actually not that bad.
