Emily Carter's Reviews > Lease on Love

All right. We are ROASTING Lease on Love today because apparently my toxic trait is hate reading romance books.

This book was terrible (IMO). Everything about it was cringe worthy. The overuse of so many words, like "low key" low key killed me. If the author was trying to sound cliché millennial, she succeeded.. terribly.

Sadie was INSUFFERABLE. She may be my most hated character, ever. She is so self centered and selfish. She literally describes herself as hot and great in bed LOL. Her entire personality is calling herself an asshole and stating how everyone hates her, on every page. "I don't deserve anything good" but she gets handed EVERYTHING. The self deprecation was really only used to have her entire group of friends (which she used for free labour the entire book), to adamantly tell her SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST PERSON ON EARTH. Vom. She did not deserve those friends.

What can I say about Jack. He was so one dimensional, he was purely written as the perfect male specimen. He existed to serve Sadie. He had no depth. When the author needed to build his character, she literally send him off to Connecticut and it was all done off page lol. Which meant more time with Sadie, ick. The entire reason for the "tension" in the last 20 pages was so dumb. OMG MY BF IS A MILLIONAIRE AND DIDNT TELL ME HOW HE BECAME A MILLIONAIRE lololol.

An example of how truly despicable Sadie is: after her best friend Nick invested in her floral business, Bridge and Blooms, aka BaB's (Barf), she thinks: "It's temping to throw in the towel now. Quit before I really have a chance to fail. Nick would lose all his money, but it's not like he doesn't have enough to fall back on" OUR MAIN CHARACTER LADIES AND GENTS.

And the nicknames. Dear god the childish nicknames. Every concoction fused with Jack (jack o lantern, jack in the box, jackpot), and florals (sweet pea LOL), and maybe the one that bothered me most - Sade.
