Pretend You're Mine - Lucy Score
1:30 PM
Well, I don't usually write bad reviews on books because I usually end up not even finishing them, so you might have guessed that I turned out to quite enjoy this one.
Harper finds herself in the middle of nowhere after running away upon walking in on her boyfriend and another woman. She has car problems, no money, and no place to stay. Luckily for her, she lands in a small town's gas station and meets—and in a rather unconventional way—Luke Garrison, who takes care of her after she's literally knocked out from getting a punch after she tried interrupting a fight between two strangers—a small town girl and her abusive boyfriend. The new girl becomes the shiny new toy of the town, but she knows she won't be able to stay more than a month.
This novel is—just like all my favorite novels—a very light, easy read. The writing is not extraordinary and it doesn't take a college degree to read this book, but it's the perfect bath time page turner.
There are a couple of things that I need to complain about, though. First of all, like I've mentioned above, Luke is thirty years old, but throughout the book, you would think that he's actually three. He's moody, stubborn, and he seems to be unable to talk about his feelings. He's a very frustrating character, and you never know how he'll react to something, even once he's dealt with his past. I personally think that Lucy Score could have done a better job with the character development, because Luke is not very mature for his age and it never seems to get better.I wish I could have seen an improvement.
Harper, on the other hand, isn't too bad, but you don't know much about her. You never find out her age or what she was really doing with her life prior to moving to Benevolence. All you know is that she was a foster child and she now has a college degree, but she's a very mysterious character who seems to have no problem with leaving things behind, which I find should make everyone in the town suspicious about her—at least I would be.
Rated 4.30/5 on Goodreads, I personally give it a four, but I truly enjoyed the two nights I spent reading this book.
