Synopsis: She's bad. So bad...
Scotty has the perfect life. And the perfect girlfriend. But one weekend while she's away, Scotty goes just a little... astray.
Suddenly he has a new girlfriend. One who won't go away. His one wild night has become a nightmare.
Because his new girlfriend has decided that she loves Scotty... to death.
This book started off surprisingly slow. Thirty pages in and nothing was happening. Just Scotty and Lora being perfect or whatever.
It was so weird how everyone kept complimenting them on how good they were together. Even the dad telling them that they're his favorite couple! It was creepy!
And they’re not that perfect. A one point Scotty admits that they have nothing in common... but he totally loves it when they make out, so 🙄 And then Scotty proceeds to cheat on Lora with Shannon, who turns out to be clingy AF! And yeah she’s annoying, but at one point Scotty wanted to HIT her! This is all HIS fault! He lies and blames Shannon for it, but NO. You lie because you want to. It’s funny how he placed the blame solely on her 🙃
But honestly, they were both messed up.
This was not great. The characters weren't great and I ended up figuring out a twist there at the end. The only thing I liked was the 90s vibe. And that it was short. Lol. And I guess it was pretty funny in parts 😅 Lol.
