Misfit (Prep Book 1)

Product Information

Because it was multiple pov.. i think that’s why this one struggled to keep afloat. Everyone just HAD to have their 5 minute monologue and side story so it veered off the main plot and the mmc and fmc. I kept forgetting about RJ and Sloane because Lawson kept inserting his forbidden affairs in, Silas kept moaning about his sinking relationship with Amy, then there was Fenn with Casey 🙄 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!

In this story we follow RJ whose mother recently married Fenn's father. RJ has been to his fair share of public schools, but now he's in this new all boys boarding school for, well, misfits. Misfits, delinquents, all of them have one thing in common. They're rich. All but RJ. Someone close Sandover Prep- it’s the worst school in America with less adult supervision of students than Hogwarts. In addition to this she ruined multiple characters giving us their POVS like I absolutely don’t want to read Silas or Lawson’s stand alones after reading how awful their thoughts were in their POVs. Had they just been side characters and I didn’t have to see Silas talking about his crush on his friends gf (a crush he’s had forever while having a gf he doesn’t care about) - I’d be more interested in his stand alone. But trying to give him a main character personality with main character unresolved feelings etc when he’s a side character ruined him. After RJ’s mom marries a rich man seemingly out of nowhere, he is forced to attend Sandover Prep School for his senior year. His plan is to keep his head down and not form any attachments. But all of that changes when he meets Sloane. She’s the headmaster’s daughter and also forbidden. Though, RJ is never one to follow the rules…‬

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. she was ranked 1st place in the Golden Rose short contemporary category for her amazing work in the book: “Angel of Seduction”

RJ is not thrilled about seeing his mom making out with her new boyfriend husband in front of him. He is even less thriller about going to a prep school for problematic rich boys. But he doesn’t care too much; he doesn’t plan on staying there long. If only his new stepbrother stopped making him socialize… Autoarea ne permite să îi cunoaștem pe fiecare din ce în ce mai bine, astfel că ne dăm seama cât de adânc și-a lăsat trecutul amprenta asupra fiecăruia dintre ei. Sloane did get her own POV in this book as well. There weren’t enough of her chapters to endear her to me, honestly. She was an “ice queen” who was all about hooking up, running, and taking care of her sister. Despite that, I did like her with RJ. Their relationship moved fast but had some sweet moments. I also liked how her ex-boyfriend Duke played into the story. There was also an interesting mystery surrounding something that happened to her sister Casey that I wouldn’t have minded spending more time on. Beneath Fenn’s pretty, party-boy surface is a dangerous truth about the night Casey almost died. He thought lying to her was the right thing to do, but when the secret shakes loose, he just might lose her for good.RJ's flighty mother marries a rich guy and suddenly he's immersed in an entirely different world of prep school, private schools, and a new step brother. A loner by his own admission, RJ doesn't like to form ties because he knows it won't last. After all, the guy has switched schools 5 times in the last 3 years due to his mother's moving around. He's a rebel without a cause and I fell head over heels for him immediately. There are a few subplots happening in this story and I’m so excited to see how everything is going to play out.

Good thing RJ doesn’t believe in rules. Sure, Sloane insists she’s swearing off guys this year, but their connection is impossible to deny. He wants her bad, and he’s going to win her over if it kills him. 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.While it sounds cliche, outcast loner meets the headmaster's daughter, forbidden romance thing. This book was anything but. RJ and Sloane were such charismatic personalities that I couldn't get enough. I love reading about females in NA romance that own who they are and they're also not shy virgins. I seriously loved how confident Sloane is with her sexuality and appeal to men. She knows she's attractive and she makes RJ work for it. And god did I love how he chased her. Sloane is always the responsible daughter, the strong one in charge of her sister, the role model student. Her ex-boyfriend was a bad idea that led to horrible consequences and she’s determined it won’t happen again. No boys, no sex, she needs to concentrate if she wants to obtain the scholarship she’s been working for. But that new guy with the sassy tongue who keeps trying to take her on a date is not letting her go that easy… The more they banter, the more the attraction between them grows. But Sloane’s father isn’t the only threat to RJ—her ex-boyfriend, Duke, doesn’t like the new kid, and if he has to destroy him, he will. RJ is going to need the help of his friends, and maybe an attitude adjustment, if he’s going to prove he’s worthy of Sloane and survive senior year.

Now usually I'm not a fan of the multiple POVs in romance books. And most books I've read that had this lost the romance along the way. The multiple character POVs got confusing and watered down the plot. This was definitely not the case here. If anything, the additional character POVs enriched and added to the plot to make it all the more delicious. Particularly the hedonistic Lawson with his evil intentions. God, I can't wait until his book. But I digress.Wat een bizar boek. Ik heb geen woorden voor hoe bizar. Ik heb in geen tijden zoiets problematisch gelezen. En in 2023????? Bizar, haha. Told from multiple points of view, I had no trouble transitioning from one to another. The characters were well-developed. Both RJ and Sloane go through dramatic transformations during the storyline. Good thing RJ doesn’t believe in rules. He wants her bad, and he’s going to win her over if it kills him.
