Swoon

I think I overestimated Swoon. The summary looked so yummy and totally interesting. Yet when I actually started reading it, my hopes plummeted.

The writing style and plot was way confusing. There were many times where I couldnt keep track of what was going. It kept jumping from one place to another and after a while, I just didnt care anymore and just read without really knowing what was happening.

And the characters? Very strange. First, the nicknames were really abnormal like Dice, Pen and Sin. I could never imagine calling someone Sin. Hey, Sin! Did you sin today? Hahaha. Dice, the main character, was extremely frustrating. I couldnt understand her love for Sin and how she could even manage dismissing all the weird and wrong things that he had done especially to her loved ones Pen. It made absolutely no sense to me. And also, I couldnt see how she could even still love him after everything he had done. Besides the things he did to her friends, he kept hurting her over and over again and tricked her many times as well. How could she keep forgiving him?? Overall, Dice was very weak and I felt like she definitely could have been portrayed in a stronger image.

I dont even know what to say for Sin. In the first few chapters, I liked him because I felt his loss and his sadness. It didnt hurt that he was so effin hot. However, by the middle of Swoon, I hated him. He was horrible person and was extremely selfish. I dont understand why he wanted to punish descendants of the people who had hurt him. Its not like they were the ones who committed the crime. Not only did he hurt them, he also killed people OLD PEOPLE, like elderly, weak seniors. Seriously. I dont know what Dice saw in him after that.

There were also a lot of awkward things in the book. I mean, there was practically an orgy in one of the scenes. When I was reading, I was so taken aback that I reread that part just to make sure if I accidentally read it wrong. Sadly to say, I read it correctly. The teens did have a mini orgy. And unfortunately, that wasnt the only orgy or extremely X-rated scene. There was also a part where Pen tried to seduce an old guy and almost almost had sex with him.

Overall, the whole book was just an awkward mess. There is no way Ill ever read it again&unless Im forced to.
