Whatever It Takes

Bad Reputation, Book 1

De: Krista Ritchie, Becca Ritchie

Narrado por: Cooper North, Charlotte North

I have a bad reputation.

Call me what you want: Bad Boy Next Door. Trouble. That Kid Who Can’t Do Anything Right.

When Willow moves into my neighborhood, nothing should have happened. She’s geeky. Shy. A true wallflower.

Willow is a good girl.
Too good for me.

And how the hell was I supposed to know that she’s related to Loren Hale - yeah, that douchebag celebrity that lives on my street. The same guy I've been pranking by spray painting vulgar words on his mailbox and worse. Much worse.

Don't ask me why I do the things I do.
Don't ask me why it had to be her.

I'm cursed. Simple as that. But here's the thing about people who are cursed - they break everything they touch.

And yet...I still want to touch her. ​

Whatever It Takes is the first book in the Bad Reputation Duet and can be heard and enjoyed without listening to any of Krista & Becca's other novels.

I loved being back in this world! If you enjoy New Adult romances, Whatever It Takes is a must read. There are parts that are set in college, a first love between a bad boy and a good girl, and a little bit of angst. Cooper North and Charlotte North did a fantastic job narrating Garrison and Willow's voices. It was just a great first book in this duet and I immediately dove into book two as soon as I finished WIT.

Fans of the Addicted series know we've been waiting a long time for Willow and Garrison's much awaited romance, and it's finally here. We get to see how Willow and Garrison first meet alongside their present-day, long-distance relationship and how they deal with living across an ocean from each other. It was an interesting contrast to read about their relationship at two different points – one being sweet, slow, romantic, and the other full of longing and little bit of heartbreak. The narrators voiced all the ups and downs, all the emotions of this book so well. It's a wonderful audio!

Love this couple

Willow and Garrison own my heart and soul. I’ve been waiting for this books for years, I kid you not. As you can imagine, my expectations were high.

I find Willow entirely too relatable. It’s like the authors managed to get into my head to create Willow Hale. We see Willow’s first semester of college throughout the book, and I saw my own experience at college here. She’s quite and a bit awkward, but she also has this quiet bravery that I hope and strive for.

Garrison Abbey is so full of self-loathing. He’s a guy who has made a lot of mistakes in his young life, and while he strives to make better choices, he feels like he’ll never be worthy of anyone’s forgiveness.

This book is told through Past and Present scenes, which I thought worked really well. My one peeve was that all the “Past” scenes in this book were straight from the web series. So if you read the web series, you’ve read about half of this book already. However, the “Present” scenes more than make up for it.

The “Past” scenes show you how Willow and Garrison met, and their evolution from strangers to friends. The “Present” scenes follow Willow in college, Garrison working at Cobalt Inc., and them trying to maintain their long distance relationship.

My heart was so full after reading this. I cannot wait for the next book. This does end in a bit of a cliffhanger, so the 28th cannot get here soon enough. I’m expecting a few things for book 2, and I hope it delivers.

I recommend this to anyone who likes their angsty romances. Also, if you’ve read and enjoyed a K.B. book, you will love this one!

Whatever it Takes

I love getting a deeper look into Garrison and Willow's budding relationship. I enjoyed the past and present scenes. Can't wait to start the next book.

Loved it

I enjoyed entering the addicted series world all over again. I love love love Garrison. He brings so much joy

Nothing happens, but a lot of angst and feels

Well, I liked this story till the end. This book made me smile and feel. But MMC was so miserable and anxious, I felt sad for him. It was tragic that he destroyed his own relationship because he believes he don't deserve happiness and cursed. Also it's bad that he isn't completely honest. I didn't read previous books, I started this one first, so sometimes it was hard to connect with other characters, to understand what is going on. Who are all those people. Narrators was perfection. It seems to me that book was too short, nothing really happening, it's more about what going on in head of one wretched guy.
