Misfit (Prep Book 1)

Product Information

Dintr-un tânăr retras, care nu prea se implică să socializeze, băiatul începe săvse relaxeze și să se implice. These boys are bad news, yet I couldn’t help but like them. Each one is struggling with something and I found myself wanting to give them a hug and a good talking to in equal measure. The heroine, Sloane, is the typical cold queen who is always better than everyone else, shuts up all the bullies and seems all perfect on the outside. I’m torn between how many times I’ve read about this kind of ‘badass’ female character and how much I love them every single time. Let’s be honest, we know they are not real, but we want them to be real so badly that we don’t care.

Misfit — Elle Kennedy

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.. RJ‘s senior year is going to be hell. He’s being sent to Sandover Prep – an ivy-covered all-boys boarding school for rich delinquents.This pulled me in straight away and had me engrossed throughout, the only gripe I had was the various pov’s many stories within a story branching off into their own stories. It’s easy enough to keep up its just something I for one am not a huge fan of but needless to say I did enjoy it overall and has me anticipating the next book. Besides Fenn (the step-bro) we're introduced to his tight-knit friends Lawson and Silas, also Sloane who RJ forms an attachment to and we're also introduced to her younger sister Casey. Gedurende dit boek moest ik mezelf er steeds aan herinneren dat dit een middelbare school is en dat dit kinderen zijn. KINDEREN. Ja, ze zijn somehow allemaal achttien, wat echt bizar is in senior year maar goed. Ze doen elkaar de meest gruwelijke dingen aan, en meppen elkaar bijna dood en drogeren elkaar en weet ik het wat, en niemand doet er iets aan??? Waar zijn de volwassenen???? Ja van die twee getrouwde docenten weten we dat maar al te goed, maar die bedoel ik niet. They were easy to keep separate, but just didn’t do much for the main plot. I would still say read it to see what you think.

I enjoyed watching RJ and Fenn, who have recently become stepbrothers, start to bond. RJ had a lot of work to do to start fitting into the school, and I love that he took his own path which wasn’t always easy. I thought that the romance portion of the story was very well done and I appreciated the fact that there was even a bit of mystery worked into the story. I listened to the audiobook and thought that each of the narrators did a great job of bringing this story to life. I loved the fact that each of the different perspectives used a different narrator. I cannot wait to read more of this series! she was ranked 1st place for her work in Where the Magic Begins, a short contemporary for “Dance of Seduction” If you enjoy shows like Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars then this book (and series) is for you! Wat een bizar boek. Ik heb geen woorden voor hoe bizar. Ik heb in geen tijden zoiets problematisch gelezen. En in 2023????? Bizar, haha.Aside from the writing style changes, the story also just wasn’t great. I almost DNF’d like 5 times before 60% because it was just so slow. Then finally stuff starts happening and it’s instantly resolved by the male mc apologizing???? He wasn’t at fault. He didn’t over react???? Why was he apologizing and asking forgiveness for shit. They should’ve felt blessed he was giving them the opportunity to fix things. Mijn god. Mijn. God. Kunnen we het er allemaal met elkaar over eens zijn dat Elle Kennedy moet stoppen met YA schrijven? Na De Royals dacht ik dat dat wel duidelijk zou zijn, maar blijkbaar is herhaling nodig. Al die mensen die ook steeds "Ik zou haar kunnen verwoesten. Fataal, geen overlevenden" dachten?? Vriend je bent ACHTTIEN DOE K A L M. 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! Het plot wil ik het niet eens over hebben. Er was een random Karate Kid plotlijn?? Uit het niks??? Er werden ook constant dingen geïntroduceerd die nooit meer genoemd werden. WAT IS ER NOU MET DIE WIETPLANTAGE IN HET BOS??????? HALLO?!?!
