After reading all about Sophie’s story and being introduced to her friends I was wondering if we would get a follow-on book about Sophie’s friends because I thought they were all interesting characters. I was pleased when I picked up this Bitter Exes as I was sure that Violet’s story would be pretty kick-ass and at first, I thought that it was pretty awesome, but then as I went along I couldn’t help but take Lane’s side as honestly, he was pretty innocent in all of this. In the beginning, I was completely on Violet’s side and could understand why she had such a broken heart a year on from the break up, yet as I got further into the book and got the picture of both sides I found myself thinking that she needed to grow up a lot. If she really didn’t give a damn about him then she would have just put her feelings to the side and just got on with the experiment instead of wearing her heart on her sleeve. I thought the who idea of this story had such great potential and I did enjoy it but I just couldn’t get into this one as much as I thought I would. It doesn’t mean to say that this was badly written because trust me it wasn’t. Addison’s writing is incredible, I just don’t think that this book lived up to the expectations that I had in mind. But seriously though, you should give it a try and see what you think.
