Spoiled, Selfish Bratty Heroine and Idiotic Hero

So....this was very much a massive letdown considering all the raving 5 star reviews this book received! The heroine, Samantha, comes across as a selfish, spoiled brat with daddy issues, the hero, Elijah, is an idiotic guy with mommy issues. Somehow they fall for each other...smdh.

The book has A LOT of passages of their thoughts...which is aggravating, I want to read/hear dialogue, not pages of their thoughts.

Overall, I could not WAIT to get yo the end of this hot mess of a book.
