The Fake Engagement

1/5. If I could give a 0, I would, but on the principle, all finished books are getting 1 at least star.

God, it was so bad, I'm disgusted.

Like seriously what the fuck was that?? The FMC has NO spine whatsoever. None. Her boss introduces her as her fiance? She goes with it. His mother invites HER mother even though she didn't want that? She hugs her. Their mothers are planning their wedding according to what they want, disregarding Preston and Eliza's plans? She goes with it because “oh she can't disappoint their mothers” GROW A SPINE.

If anyone, ANYONE started to plan my wedding and invite my best friends to have this wedding take place within the next 3 weeks, I'm leaving. I'm packing my suitcases and getting the hell out of dodge. I don't wait around and I don't stand silent. So what is my mother would be disappointed? It's not her fucking day. She has no say in it. God, I was hoping for Eliza to finally tell them to fuck off, but noooooooooo, because that wouldn't be polite...

The writing was so bad too. Not just the plot, which was bonkers, or a character development, but writing. When Preston went to the pharmacy to buy condoms the sentence was “he went to buy reinforcements, condoms”. Yes, we know! You don't have to say condoms, reinforcements would be enough!! During sex scenes, the word “pussy” was used 4 times... In 6 sentences. Come on, this is a wattpad lever of writing. The author needs to graduate to ao3 before publishing a book, because it was just bad.

“Eliza moved up the bed, but Preston captured her ankle and pulled her back down until she was a little further onto the bed than the edge.” THIS IS A SENTENCE FROM THE BOOK. I mean, really? Just say he pulled her back down and THAT'S IT. YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING ELSE.

Or the explanation here:

“When she arrived back home after being with Preston the first time, she'd changed into the shorts as they felt more comfortable in the heat of summer. It didn't matter what she was wearing. With Preston removing her clothes, they were soon on the floor with her panties.” IF IT DIDN'T MATTER THEN WHY DOES IT SAY WHAT SHE'S WEARING, SAM? WHY?

That book was so bad. Oh my god, never again.

“The sex they shared had been good. Not groundbreaking, but it was nice.”

I need to sit down, I think I'm having a stroke.
