Totally predictable story. I guessed Drew's secret even before they got to his home. And I guessed the step-mom's secret immediately. The âhintsâ were pretty damn obvious. I hope that's what Murphy was going for, but if it was supposed to be a âshocking twistâ⦠it wasn't. In the slightest.
Obviously I went into the book predicting that the fake relationship would blossom into a real relationship, because that's what always happens in stories, but something about it felt⦠lacking. It was an incredibly easy read but I didn't feel like there were much depth to the characters or the story in general. Everything was predictable and textbook âteen romance storyâ. It almost felt more like a detailed outline for how the story was going to go, and what certain points/secrets needed to be revealed, but then Murphy never added depth to it. I felt like the story had more potential than the final published product.
