She's Too Pretty to Burn

This is one of my anticipated reads of the year and it clearly made me disappointed. I didn't like the plot, the characters are annoying and awful people, the mystery/thriller aspect is weak and the romance is SO weird like there is no chemistry at all. Nothing really happened in the beginning and the story only “started” in the 52% mark which I think is a little too late especially if there is a mystery involved with no build up. Also, this book made me uncomfortable mainly because of Mick and Veronica's relationship. It's so toxic and manipulative and the chemistry, as stated above, is not there. So as a reader, it's so weird to read about these characters “falling in love” when they barely knew each other and don't even respect each other. In terms of art, it's too pretentious for my liking but it's just me. Overall, I did not like this book but it's not the worst, hence, the 2 stars rating instead of a 1 star.
