Helpful Score: 2
I loved Backstage Pass. Ok, so I know it is not some literary masterpiece, it was an erotica novel with a cute "feel good" side story to it. Because of my love for book 1, I actually purchased book 2.
I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with book 2. It was plain horrible. I hardly ever give one star. I usually can find something worthwhile about a book but this book was not only bad, it annoyed me.
Jessica-
There are bitchy, demanding girls and then there is a bitch. Jessica was a bitch. I found nothing appealing about her. If she wasn't having sex with Sed, she was bitching about being wronged, about not wanting Sed to control her, about how hard her life was. Because she was so bitchy, the last thing I wanted to read about was Jessica getting it on with Sed. She deserved some serious lonely nights. Seriously, this girl had no redeeming qualities. I cannot remember anything positive about her personality.
The story-
What story? Let's see, Brian hates Jessica because he thinks that she left Sed and that turned Sed into a man-whore which in turn made Sed steal Brian's previous girlfriends. At one point in the story, Jessica tells Brian the "truth. Just like that, Brian takes her word as gospel and the entire issue is cleared up without Brian even asking Sed if Jessica was telling the truth.
This entire law school scenario was so laughable. First, what law school did Jessica go to? I went to law school. I graduated law school (no comments about my grammar from the peanut gallery). My books cost more than Jessica's alleged tuition. The sexual-harassment-professor-giving-blow-job-to-the-dean side story, bleh, it "sucked" (no pun intended-- ok maybe pun was intended but I know it was a bad one)
Overall-
I literally hated reading anything to do with the main characters (sorry Sed, you where the unintended victim of Jessica hatred). I can't believe I finished a book where I only partially enjoyed the stories of the minor characters in the book.
1.5 stars (.5 stars for inciting me to rant- passion is good)
