My other problem with this book was the romance element. I think I really burned myself out of reading about straight couples this month – I just wanted a gay, bi, pan character in this story with a proper storyline so I could easy my mind for a few scenes. And look, I’m not saying her parents went about talking to her about this in the best way because they definitely didn’t, what I’m saying is that if you are in your mid/late twenties and you’re still acting like an 18-year-old who is living off their parent’s money and acting like they have no responsibilities, you’re childish and you need to start pulling your socks up. To me, she comes off as extremely immature, irresponsible and fairly clueless about her privilege. Most people can’t jump to one job to the next with no financial concerns because their parents or caregivers are loaded with money. I was raised to always try your hardest at whatever you do, even if you might fail, and to not give up right away – Eve does the exact opposite of this. But, honestly, I agreed more with her family than her.
Where to start? First of all, I did not like Eve. I tried to sympathise with her because I understand how feeling like you are a nuisance to your family would be pretty shitty. Clearly, it was a mistake on my part because this book wasn’t it. The only reason I decided to read this one is that Talia Hibbert’s writing is very addictive, there were some funny moments in the previous novels and I wanted to listen to an audiobook while I worked out.
To be completely honest, I was not a big fan of either of the other two books in this series – I thought they were just okay.
