Jennifer☠Pher☠'s Reviews > Unwritten Law

In a sea of 5★ reviews there is me. Ugh.

So, I have typed and deleted this review at least twenty times already. Everything I type up sounds like I hated the book. I didn’t. But guys, I’m seriously at a loss.

This wasn’t at all what I expected it to be.

Bummer.

So, let’s try to get this out. Let me reiterate. I didn’t hate this. It was well written and I stayed up way past my bedtime, even for a Saturday night, to finish it but yeah, well, it just didn’t work out for me. The setup seemed like it was going to be kind of fun and then there would be the discovery and then there would be the romance but that is not how it went down. The setup part went on too long and went from a simple little lie to full on deceit and well, that is not cool. I just didn’t buy Law’s reasoning at all. I get it, it snowballed and the longer he avoided it the harder it was yadda yadda yadda, I get that, but still, he was deceiving Reed pretty much the whole book and well, it wasn’t cool. Oh, and that point in the book when he took Anders’s advice and just continued to take what he could get while he was getting it, well, that right there pretty much ruined any chance he had to be loved by me. It changed the whole thing to doing it on purpose and I’ll say it one more time, that is not cool.

There really wasn’t any romance. There was fucking with “Anders” and bros with Law. I am all for falling for your friend type stories but again, that’s not what happened here. Well, maybe it did but no, not fairly or really.

So, the twin thing. It all just seemed contrived to me. What happened to Anders is pretty fucking serious, yeah? I mean HUGE but I don’t know if I completely comprehended the whole needing Law to break up with guys for him thing. It all just felt weird to me.

I just don’t know.

And then Law’s “secret”. I just can’t believe with how close we are to believe these two brothers are that Law would have kept this from Anders and the reasoning why just didn’t jive for me.

See, it sounds like I hated the book. I didn’t. I like the idea of these twins. I like that the story had a pretty serious, no, really serious, back story. I like this attorney friend of Reeds’. I totally hope it is him in the next book. I liked the kids and all that too. Overall I liked it, really I did, I think mostly I missed the romance and the groveling. The drama at the end kind of forced their hands a little bit and well, I don’t know. I just don’t.

I guess you just can't win them all. I'll definitely read the next one.
