It makes you special.” “Everyone got behind Fox, the name the guys had dubbed the red truck. "Fox?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yeah," Isaac said with a grin. "Our truck is hot, like Megan Fox.” - With laughable lines like this I had to keep reading. “Love takes more than a couple days and a secret, shotgun marriage to develop into something worth dying for.” ReviewI'm not gonna lie I have a serious soft spot for really terrible books, I love reading books that are so bad they're almost good. (And by good I mean HORRIBLE) I think I love reading bad books because if something like this can get published, maybe I can also write a book one day!
I don't even know where to start with this train wreck, it's full of cliches and bad writing. I can get behind a good love triangle but this was not one of them, both boys are selfish and mean, with Cole being exceptionally so. And lets not forget Jackie is supposed to be grieving the loss of her ENTIRE family, her Mom, Dad and Sister, there was not one point where I felt bad for poor Jackie. There is a good way to write grief so you feel bad for and sympathize with the characters but this was not one of those books. She is just so wrapped up in BOYS that there is really not one point in the books I felt like she was missing her family. This book also missed a huge opportunity to promote good strong women and friendships... but it didn't. The few... very few, times we get to interact with Jackie's friends ALL we hear about are the Walter Boys, just the friends gushing about them and pressuring Jackie to be with one... any of them. I was really missing a solid friendship for Jackie. Also where the heck are Katherine and George in this mess, there underage son's are not only fighting over and dating Jackie, but putting her in danger and forcing her into situations she doesn't want to be in. Can you imagine even one parent in the world bring in a ORPHAN to live with their 11 sons and then being so chill with them all fighting and dating her. There is just so much bad in this book, yet I couldn't put it down. I had to keep reading to see what stupid thing was going to happen next. I don't want to read this again but it did give me a good laugh over how bad it is. If you also like reading BAD books this is one for you.
