Jasinda Wilder's writing is awesome. I love the way she shows you what is going on without having to tell you. I love the feeling in her books. I liked the premise of Stripped, I admit, at first I was questioning if it was too much, the stripper angle and a movie star, but it worked perfectly. I really enjoyed Dawson. Grey, not so much.Here's the thing. Maybe it's because she was so young at the beginning of the book, up until she leaves, that I just can't understand her immaturity. Grey was incredibly self centered. I'm sure it must be bad growing up with an overbearing parent like her father was. I don't doubt it. However, it really pissed me off that the confrontation took place when and where it took place. It could have taken place even the next day, but that was wrong. And it made me lose a lot of my sympathy for Grey for most of the book. One other thing that pissed me off was, she was at school for 2 years, hardly with enough money to eat, and she doesn't think to maybe try to get a job? She had 12 credit courseload. It's like 4 classes. Surely there's time to fit in a few hours at McDonalds? Sorry for the rant.Now Dawson, I got, I understood him. I wish there actually had been more of him or maybe something from him.Anyway, overall it was a good book. Jasinda is an awesome writer and I am looking forward to reading more of her non NA books.
