Play Fake

Felt like the drama really overwhelmed the characters to the point where I didn't really feel like they could stand on their own. I couldn't really tell who they were beyond their playful banter, what their morals were or, how they would react in certain situations. I didn't feel like I really knew them well enough to like them (or even dislike them) very strongly. Which was pretty sad because I thought the chemistry/ plot was really cute.

The drama just kept on coming, and I felt like the situations defined the characters and their actions rather than the other way around.

This book starts of sooooo cute and Waylon is awesome, even Mac is cool at times, but not one NOT ONE conversation between them didn't have some type of misunderstanding. Istg the lies, the not correcting assumptions... it sucked! Literally the only conversation without a misunderstanding or isn't misunderstood later, is in the epilogue. I ended up playing a game of “how will they not realize the other person cares for them this time even though they are saying they care for them?”.

So much potential and I'm just so frustrated. I started this book because I wanted to make my way to book 4... but this one was meh, I already hate the guy in book 2, and the couple in book 3 have me frustrated as hell. I'm not sure it's worth it. But the potential for good is there, so I'm not writing this author off completely. I'll def check their stuff out in the future.
