I know right? He should just speak up. She doesn't need to be hurt like that. :'(
And I've finally finished this book. How much of it have you read? It had such a great end and yet, it was a boring book. Does that make sense?
It kind of does actually. I'm more than half way through and I've realized how pathetic it is. I mean, the story is so boring!
It isn't boring exactly. To be honest, it is written in such a bad way that it looks boring. I mean, a bit of it is obvious too, so it could be counted as boring but I don't think it is. :(
I just read that part where Jude cheats on Libby. It was bound to happen. I wonder why did it take so long. It was so obvious, everyone knew it. She was just so blind to all of this, thanks to his goddamn awesome looks. How could she be in love with him after their first night? How could she give in to him after their first night. It was all so irritating. I mean, she knows that he can leave her after this and still.. What kind of girl does that? I swear, I wonder if she even got Will. She doesn't deserve him!

Yeah, that is true. I admit, you're criticizing the MC a lot even though whatever you said is true xD
Libby Saunders, who spent the first seventeen years of her life as an ugly duckling, bleaches her hair and drops forty pounds in order to get her fairytale ending. Once she evolves into a beautiful swan, the handsome princes are tripping each other’s royal steeds in order to get a date with her. But while the princes in fairy tales may be perfect gentlemen, Libby finds that her real life princes tend to be somewhat less than perfect. Actually, they tend to be a bunch of two-timing jerks.
Will Kaplan, the roommate of Libby’s latest boyfriend, is definitely not her idea of a handsome prince. He’s missing a cleft in his chin, he doesn’t have a British accent or even a French or Italian accent, and he rides a wheelchair rather than a white stallion. But the more Libby gets to know Will, the more she starts to wonder if handsome princes are really all they’re cracked up to be. And maybe a nice, ordinary drake is the only one who can give a former ugly duckling the happily ever after she’s been waiting for.
