Misfit (Prep Book 1)

Product Information

Although I liked all the characters and didn't find it hard to follow, I still was thrown off by the multiple POV's. You really have to pay attention to see whose part of the story you're on. The ending was a bit jaw dropping and I wouldn't call it a huge cliffhanger, but it leaves you wanting so much more!

The ending left me SHOOK. There is so much I still need to know, so I’ll be *desperately* waiting for the next book! Sloane (ik denk dat je het zo spelt, ik heb het audioboek en wil het niet opzoeken): De enige vrouwelijke POV. Niet heel opmerkelijk. "Ik zie in wat voor manipulatieve zooi het is. Anyway, ik ga naar hem toe" is een geparafraseerde tekst uit het boek. Manmanman. A New York Times, USA Todayand Wall Street Journalbestselling author, Elle Kennedy grew up in the suburbs of Toronto, Ontario, and is the author of more than 40 titles of romantic suspense and contemporary romance novels.

I dont read a lot of high school new adult anymore so I’m really happy that i loved this. (I mean, it’s Elle Kennedy so duh) RJ meets Sloane and he's enthralled by her. The thing is... she's off limits. She's the headmaster's daughter. This book has a lot of drama, and a lot of POV's/characters to follow. Not only do we get RJ, Sloane, and Fenn's perspective, we get their other two friends- Silas and Lawson. I wasn’t a huge fan of this book. The multiple POV’s didn’t really help either. I wish it would have been written in dual POV. I felt like it pulled too much away from the two main characters. I wasn’t a huge fan of Sloane either. I also thought some things would be resolved by the end of this book, but they weren’t. Which I dislike. Fenn is the only additional POV I actually liked. I THOUGHT RJ'S character was unique and different from most male MCs in romance books. I would describe him as introverted but not shy or awkward, just prefers the company of computers to people sometimes 😅 Sure, he was a little too edgy and a little too good at everything but I didn't really care. I love the nerdy ones so this hit right for me lol

why are we lightly brushing over these characters having drug and alcohol addictions? its like *oh yeah he's been to rehab multiple times... but we're never gonna bring it up again* huh? so are they still struggling? does this affect their daily lives? apparently not 🤷🏼‍♀️Beneath Fenn’s pretty, party-boy surface is a dangerous truth about the night Casey almost died. He thought lying to her was the right thing to do, but when the secret shakes loose, he just might lose her for good.

I imagine you have figured out there is a lot more going on than romance. If Gossip Girl and Off Campus series had a child, Misfit would be the result: teenagers, romance, friendship and loads of drama. For the same price, you have five POVs instead of only two -which also means you’ll have ⅖ of the romance. While I enjoyed RJ-Sloane’s banter, it was far from EK masterpieces. Having so many POVs decreased the amount of development per character and the romance suffered from that-or maybe I’m not that much into the insta-attraction anymore. The friendship between the four boys was my favorite part of the story, especially the dynamics of Silas-Lawson. In addition to this she ruined multiple characters giving us their POVS like I absolutely don’t want to read Silas or Lawson’s stand alones after reading how awful their thoughts were in their POVs. Had they just been side characters and I didn’t have to see Silas talking about his crush on his friends gf (a crush he’s had forever while having a gf he doesn’t care about) - I’d be more interested in his stand alone. But trying to give him a main character personality with main character unresolved feelings etc when he’s a side character ruined him.

It really did have potential. I was hooked at the start. It had the exclusivity gossip girl fans rave about, the boarding school scene, red hot attraction.. Now usually I'm not a fan of the multiple POVs in romance books. And most books I've read that had this lost the romance along the way. The multiple character POVs got confusing and watered down the plot. This was definitely not the case here. If anything, the additional character POVs enriched and added to the plot to make it all the more delicious. Particularly the hedonistic Lawson with his evil intentions. God, I can't wait until his book. But I digress. She’s one of those people who are hard to get close to. You think you know them, that you’re in there, but then they rearrange the furniture, and you realize you were only ever talking to a reflection of a reflection in a hall of mirrors, still totally out of reach. There are a few subplots happening in this story and I’m so excited to see how everything is going to play out.
