Preunion (High School Reunion, #1)

This was such a let down! The premise sounded promising. But the writing fell so so so flat for me. Beyond flat!

There was way too much telling and no showing. It was all she said he said. Or in this case, the name Eric was used in every sentence. Eric did this then Eric said this then Eric went here. I've never seen someone's name used so many times, why not add 'he' or another descriptive term.

I honestly can barley remember what happened in this book, the characters were so very flat and whiny! One dimensional characters, with such shallow emotions. We never get any backstory as to why the main characters mother is so annoying to her, accept that the mother wants to spend time with her daughter whom she hasn't seen in years.

Then there's the sex scenes which were also very bland and tasteless and at times anatomically awkward. It didn't flow very well, and there was no passion in those scenes. They were very clinical. I'm not sure why they were included in teh book besides trying to be like ever other New Adult novel out there which has sex scenes in it.

I feel like if there was more character development the book would have been more enjoyable.

This feels like a draft or an outline of the work, instead of the final product.

Not to mention it ends on the stupidest cliffhanger ever. Sounds like just another excuse to break up a whole book into parts in an attempt to make more money.
