review 1: This story was so bad that I don't even know how to start. It had left me speechless with its stupidity. And make no mistake about it being stupid because that is my only impression of the story as a whole. The story completely revolves around this 40 year old divorcee who can't accept that she isn't 18 anymore. The female lead, also in an attempt to feel 18 again, gloms onto this 25 year old guy and she tries to dry hump him any chance she gets whether or not he is willing. She is so obsessed with her age that most of the story is about her talking about her beauty routine and fishing for compliments from people around her by saying that she looks really old and ugly. Which of course the people she is saying this to have to say something against it because otherwise they... more would be rude in agreeing. The only character in this story that I even mildly liked was the female lead's gay brother because he told his sister the truth. (The other characters were very hateful toward him for it.) Her brother said that she is getting older and needs to accept that that is a fact she can't change and dying her hair every week or so to hide the gray hair isn't going to mask everything. Hey brother also tells her to stop preying on young men that could be her son and to act her own age instead of like the little kid sheer is pretending to be. There is this one line at the end of the book that I feel describes the story perfectly. That line comes when the characters are having an argument and the male lead says, "What are you ten? Because that is what you are acting like." The female lead acts like a child for most of the story while telling herself and everyone around her that she is quite mature and sophisticated. All in all, don't waste your time or money on this story because it is precious time that you will never get back. And believe me when I say that you will wish you could get that wasted time back. I know I do.
review 2: This was a great read :) I don't typically read stories where the heroine is older than the hero. In society, usually the man is older and more experienced, so it was a nice twist to see the opposite happening. Alexandre is rich, handsome, and has a celeb worthy status. Pearl is a sassy and quirky woman. Although there is drama along the way, but it's a good journey. The passion between the couple was perfect for me, not too much and not too little. less
