Did anyone read "Ten Tiny Breaths?" (NS)

Ugh. Another poorly written NA. There are some gems in this genre, and I am drawn to the idea of NA, so I keep trying. But why are so many done so badly? 

To be fair, this wasn't as bad as, say, Abbi Glines. It kept me reading to the end, and I never wanted to throw it. But it was at times lazy, and sloppy, and just overall needed a good editor.

  • I actually think a lot of people around here have read it. I hated it but I think I am in the minority.

  • What was your hate based on? 
  • Okay, hate is probably too strong. I just checked and I rated it a 3 on GR. I'm surprised, I thought I had rated it a 2. Its been a couple years since I read it so I don't remember specifics. I just remember the poor writing and not really connecting with the characters or their relationship. I also had no desire to read any more of the books in the series.

  • I read it a long time ago - I didn't hate it but I also didn't love it.  It kind of cemented my opinion of NA as being largely about tattooed bad boys who are reformed by girls with a tortured past.  Not that that's a bad thing, but it's not MY thing.  And I was super annoyed by the way stripping was portrayed.

  • I gave it 3 stars, but I am pretty generous with my stars. I definitely did not continue with the series. I have read some really great books in the New Adult genre, but there is a lot of crap out there to weed through.
