Review of "Finding North" by Rachel Dunning

Finding North by Rachel Dunning
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was actually excited to read this longer work from Rachel Dunning. I was a big fan of her humor in Girl-Nerds Like it Harderbut somehow this really didn't pull me in at all.

Warning: May contain spoilers.

Leo is, in lack of better words, really horny. She hasn't lost her V-card yet, but she's definitely excited for when it happens.

She lives this upper-class life, which all the riches that wealth provides, and on several occasions go out partying, despite being only 17-years-old. Although, I can't judge. I did the same, but legally, here in Denmark when I was 17.

At a club, she meets the older Conall. He's handsome, suave and it doesn't take long before she decides that he's a good candidate for helping her get rid of her virginity. He's friendly, and I grew to like him a bit throughout the book.

Generally, Leo just sounds whining, and kinda like a bitch. Despite Kayla's obvious crush on random-hook-up guy, it doesn't stop Leo from fantasizing hard about him. She basically pleads for Conall to just do her, but then get extremely prissy when he says that Englishmen doesn't just jump the first and the best.

I don't know. I just couldn't connect to Leo. Like, I wanted to understand her so well. She's young, excited, and rich. She wants to travel the world, but can't before she get her trust-fund (which is less than a year away.

And the plot-twist with the attempted rape and drug-over-lord just annoyed me. I would have preferred if it had been evolved deeper--especially with such hard topics--but no such luck.

I don't know who I could recommend it too. I still enjoy Rachel Dunning's writing, but I much prefer her other series.
