My Bad Boy Neighbor Review

My Bad Boy Neighbor by Desirae Clark.

A girl, a boy, and a bet.

Good girl Astrid Ella Bailey, the Oreo-loving school nerd of Evergreen High, has anxiety issues. Like any other nerd, she preferred to bury her nose in her books all day and avoid attention like the plague. She never got into trouble, save for that one time a kid ruined a photo of her best friend… a very dear friend she just lost in a tragic accident.

Bad boy Kai Asher, her high school’s head playboy, is trouble incarnate. Intense, rough, and sexy, he’s the one who makes all the girls swoon. One flirtatious wink and their heart’s bend like clay dough. Oh, the shame when they all break like fragile china.

A bet is made, tempers flare up, and punches are thrown. 

And when the good girl crashes into the bad boy — quite literally, screeching tires and smoking hoods included — the school went wild with intrigue. Astrid was thrown into the spotlight, and extra attention is never good for an almost antisocial nerd.

What was the bet? And why did Kai suddenly appear — in all his half-naked glory — at Astrid’s next door window one day? Can she resist his insane sexual innuendos, or will she lose her sanity? Or what’s left of it, anyway. 

First Thoughts

I was looking through kindle unlimited books when this one caught my eye. It sounded intriguing, so I thought I'd give it a try. It was a waste of time, and the book annoyed me soo much, and you're about to find out why. Here is my honest review of this book.

Review

The good thing about this book is that the writing style isn't one of the things that bothered me. The plot was also good, but other than that I don't know what else was good.

The characters in this book were a little underdeveloped, sometimes you didn't understand why they did the things they did. 

SPOILER ALERT: The bet was obviously about her, how did she not figure it out sooner, how did her friend not figure it out sooner, and seriously she runs away from her problems?? Why? Without even talking to her boyfriend and asking if he was in on it, she just ups and runs away. 

There was also a lot of sexist comments and really cliche stuff, that alone made me want to stop reading and forget about it, but for some reason, I continued. I should've stopped. 

I wanted so bad to like this book because it sounded do good, but it just wasn't. It was so predictable and had a terrible ending, if you were planning on reading this, please don't. 

Rating

If you do read this book, it is suitable for YA readers 12 and up.
