I read
the first and second book backwards. It didn't really change much for my
perspective of how much I like Tessa Bailey's writing and her characters. I
think she does an excellent job of writing characters who develop relationships
that feel completely natural. It's not just trying to mash two archetypes
together and turn out a book.
This
book was a fun ride. I wouldn't call it the best. I loved the second book in
the series a he'll of a lot more. It had characters that develop and grow
through the story and they actually change. While Disorderly Conduct makes you
think they may have grown and they really don't they just stumble into the
realization they've been ignorant and immature. I guess I just wasn't super
into this one as the others. I delayed on writing my reviews because of the
thanksgiving holiday time frame and it really gave me a better idea of how I
felt.
Ever comes from a
line of family with this really weird idea that they are mistresses who should
just use men for sex and have no emotional entanglements. Ok so your mom having
a sex talk is one thing but having your mom say just bone that's it... weird.
generations go one by accident it seems. However, Ever is an interesting
person. She is nice, she is stable in her career, she has a hood sense of humor
and determination. I liked her, just not this weird background.
Charlie is an
obsessive stalker, but it's written in a way you want to almost forgive him. I
guess the theme for this book could be determination. He was determined to have
Ever. Charlie not only comes across as a stalker but also like an immature
school boy. He's like running around town sabotaging Ever' s dates and stuff.
So both Ever and
Charlie are like immature kids who are products of their upbringing. Neither
have a clue what a relationship is or how to approach it. So obviously there
with be misunderstandings, conflicts, devastation, betrayal, swooning, yada
yada. Not a bad book at all. I liked it.
