Thanks, Elentiya PR, for the arc 

 

I was approached about being on a book tour for this and the second book in the series. After reading the synopsis, I said yes because it sounded like a book I would enjoy. Unfortunately, two flaws made me quit reading near the beginning of the book. 

 

One is how Greek life is portrayed. I’m a sorority girl, and I'm proud of my active and alumna life. I don’t appreciate books that use hazing as a plot line, assume all sorority mixers would include alcohol, or define Greek life as the typical “movie definition” when it is so much more. 

 

Two, Austin, the narrator of the first chapter, I honestly thought was a bi-FMC. (By this point, I’ve forgotten the book blurb I had read a while ago.) I liked Austin as I read. Then I got to Sydney and realized, “Oh, no! She’s the FMC!” So, I went back and reread Austin’s chapter. It was not as entertaining. Then it was like Austin and Sydney both had the same narration voice for me as I read. 

 

I tried to let things in Greek life slide because I knew I could get overprotective of them, but they kept coming. Then, when the narration was no longer entertaining, I took my leave. Selina Violet has a good idea, but it was executed poorly. The book would have been better with sensitivity readers and readers who have experienced Greek life. Hopefully, the following books in the series will have that.
