Vintage's Reviews > Say You'll Stay

Two unlikeable characters that are surrounded by relatively sane side characters.

Hero is an idiot, and it's all about him. He thinks he loves the heroine, but has sex with her bully. It's a mild version of the madonna/whore syndrome. As a teen he thinks with his nether regions and can't understand why the heroine who loves him is hurt. Unlike many heroines in cheating romances, she decides to hate him. She still pines for him but likes to make him suffer. His nose is all out of joint because she got mad about his hookup. What did he think was going to happen? The author doesn't help his case by having our first adult encounter with him having detailed sex with his cheating wife and her plastic breasts.

The heroine isn't much better. I can understand her loathing of him, but have some self-respect and grow up. She's still a teenager trapped in a 20-somthing adult woman with her snarkiness and sarcasm. Epic example of how to tell someone you are still besotted without actually telling them.

DNF after his mother told him to grow up.
