Very Bad Things by Ilsa Madden-Mills


I was so happy to get this book, I had been looking forward to reading it every since I saw the cover then I read the blurb and started to get impatient. Leo, he's protective but in the first scene I didn't know if it was for his brother Sebastian or for Nora, "I didn't pay for this school so you could screw around with girls. You're here to play football and get good grades so you can get into a decent university. Stay away from Buttercup." Nora is quite the entertainer when she's drunk, the crap that comes out of her mouth, "I'm not a virgin, you know. I've been with other guys, some good at effing, some not." I let my eyes run over him slowly. "You're older which means more experienced. I bet you'd blow them right out of the water." I mean the girl is really unfiltered, "you're hard for me. You look bigger than a tree trunk in those shorts," I said. "And you haven't walked out of this bathroom. I think you're a little fascinated with me. I think you like watching me take my -" And Nora does have a point when it comes to dating, "you're just not that in to her if you can't put forth the effort it takes for a real date. Seriously, all you did was run around in the heat, sweat like a pig, and buy her some water." And Nora may be messed up (with good reason) but she really does make a lot of good points, and Leo he's just an idiot for not seeing what the hell is in front of him, "why?" I said. "Because you're jealous? Because you won't have me, so no one can? It doesn't work like that, Leo." Leo has this weird thing about sniffing her as well, like a dog does next thing you know he'll be peeing on her to mark his territory, "breathing you in because you smell so effing good, like peaches. I want to eat you up." I their story really isn't finished I would love to see a follow up story about how they make things work while she goes to college, and maybe see her mom die, or just get brutally injured either way works for me. This is a book I shall be hounding the author for a copy for.
