One of my favorite New Adult reads last year was Undecided! I promoted that book everywhere and to everyone. It was so amazing! I couldn't wait to get Undeclared on my Kindle and let me tell you, the wait was painful. Finally, the day came that it arrived and I started to read it...
I don't know what happened. The author wrote a fantastic NA story in Undecided, but it's like all that went away for Undeclared. I actually liked Kellan in the first book so I was excited about his story, but I was left a little bit disappointed. Kellan didn't completely win me over. It got to a point where I didn't really care if he ended up happy or not, which says a lot since I wanted him to get his HEA. I think one of my reasons for not really liking much of Kellan was his personality. In the first book, he's portrayed as someone who's easy-going and the fun of the party. I get he's trying to change his ways after an STD scare, but that doesn't mean he has to stop being a fun guy and I missed that of him.
I'm a major fan of second-chance romance but even then, I was mostly eh on the romance. At times, it was believable and at others, it wasn't. I really liked their flashbacks, but there weren't enough of them in the story. Not only that, but the flashbacks showed a different side of Andi and Kellan. Their chemistry back then was intense, but now it was... Non-existant? That really took away from their second-chance at love for me.
I wish Crosbie and Nora had made more appearances in the story. I really liked the friendship that Nora and Kellan developed in the first book so I was expecting to see more of it in this second installment, but that wasn't the case :(
Overall, I was obviously expecting a whole lot more of Undeclared. I highly recommend you check out Undecided since that's a New Adult gem! (Check out my review here.)
