It's by far the WEIRDEST writing ever that says a lot without actually telling you anything. For instance, the first few chapters of this book are set at a bar where she works, but then it's literally never mentioned again? And in the middle of reading this book I kept having to stop and reread the synopsis just to remind myself what was happening. From the characters' interactions and dialogue making no sense whatsoever to the remarkable lack of detail and the disjointed writing, it was such a pain to get through. But no, it was just how this book was written. There are no transitions between anything or explanation about any characters or the setting or literally ANYTHING that I seriously got anxiety when I was reading this thinking I was dyslexic and I was misreading sentences. The main downfall of this book and the reason why I cannot give it more than one star is because the dialogue and writing of this book are downright incomprehensible. This book is a HOT mess and I don't know where to begin. This book was so bad that I'm questioning if The Hating Game is even as good as I remember it. Sally Thorne really, really flopped with this book. Thanks to William Morrow Paperbacks for the free review copy! She’s going to make Tom Valeska 99 percent hers. This time around, she’s switching things up. It turns out one percent of Tom’s heart might not be enough for Darcy anymore. Soon sparks are flying-and it’s not the faulty wiring. She’s definitely not staying because of her new business partner’s tight t-shirts, or that perfect face that's inspiring her to pick up her camera again. Suddenly Darcy’s considering sticking around to make sure her twin doesn’t ruin the cottage’s inherent magic with his penchant for grey and chrome. Darcy plans to be in an aisle seat halfway across the ocean as soon as the renovations start, but before she can cut and run, she finds a familiar face on her porch: house-flipper extraordinaire Tom’s arrived, he’s bearing power tools, and he’s single for the first time in almost a decade. When Darcy and Jamie inherit a tumble-down cottage from their grandmother, they’re left with strict instructions to bring it back to its former glory and sell the property.

That’s the problem with finding her dream man at age eight and peaking in her photography career at age twenty-ever since, she’s had to learn to settle for good enough.

Despite Darcy’s best efforts, Tom’s off limits and loyal to her brother, 99%. She’s travelled the world, and can categorically say that no one measures up to Tom Valeska, whose only flaw is that Darcy’s twin brother Jamie saw him first and claimed him forever as his best friend.
