Patch Up

[whisperingchapters]

I started reading Patch Up and I expected to like it..I really did. Unfortunately, that is not that case. I couldn't connect with the characters at all! I only like Kate out of all the characters in the story and Derek (that's saying a lot since Derek was barely in the book).

These are COLLEGE people, not high school. They were acting so childish all the time. I'm a Junior in college and I didn't even act like that in Freshman year. None of the people I knew at college (a lot since I work at the Admissions Office) acted the way this supposedly "college" students act. They were very immature, fighting over any stupid thing.

I feel sad saying that it got good at 91% because it was the climax of the story, when something terrible happens. I feel very bad for liking this part but it was the only good thing that I liked and it's because it showed a true story, not faking the characters to be younger.

I have already started Fix Up and I am somewhat liking it better than the first book. The book from this series that I look forward to reading is Change Up because it is Kate and Derek's story.
