I struggled through this book.
It's written in first person and I think the author was going for a conversational style and really missed the mark.
The main character and narrator Symphony is a 17-year-old college student who just constantly (and I mean constantly) goes on about how ugly she is, that she's a monster and that everyone hates her and wishes she were dead.
The "monster" bit broke me. There is a moment when she says no amount of makeup could make her pretty, nut when her friend Gigi gives her a makeup over for a date suddenly she looks like the cover of a fashion magazine. Seriously? GTFO!
And then there is the boyfriend who is actually kind of abusive, but that's ok because he's tall and hot and at least he didn't threaten her with a gun. Nah he'll just go psycho because Symphony told him to shut up because he woke her.

The writing itself was a great example of telling and no show, especially when it came to the friendship group (which the author used the same word for word description of them twice). We were told what the personality of the friends were but I didn't see much evidence of those traits displayed.
Then we have the forced use of "flashbacks" to info dump to justify the MC's poor self-esteem and mistrust of others, even though the people currently in her life have given her no reason to mistrust them and all they seem to do is rally round and support her.

In short, this book gave me reading rage.

I did not get a chance to finish this novel. Based on the description, I was very intrigued and upon reading the story my expectations kind of fell flat. I know for some this might be the kind of romance book theyre looking for but I was expecting something a little different. This novel is in 3rd person POV which I also felt was a problem because I didn't exactly connect with the characters like I wanted too.
