By the second half of the story I kind of started getting a bit bored. Ironically, this is when the story picks up and get a bit suspenseful. Gemma and her friends were absolutely hilarious. And Gemma's habit of going off on tangents (mostly around Chase) was entertaining. Speaking of Chase. I liked him but I wasn't really feeling the romance between them. He's too controlling and he crosses way too many lines for a brand new relationship with someone he's known for less than a week. I'm torn between 2 and 3 stars, but I'm going with 3 because I did love the beginning of the story (especially the basketball game).

Gemma Summers is unlucky in love. She's known it since third grade, when her first crush blew a spitball into her hair, and a decade-long string of bad dates, boring sex, and abysmal morning-afters has done nothing to improve her prospects. But when a random radio call-in contest lands her courtside tickets to the hottest playoff game of the season, Gemma's luck may finally be on the upswing, even if it doesn't exactly seem like it when the dreaded jumbotron kiss-cam lands on her and her date, who's too busy ignoring her to notice. Chase Croft doesn't date. Despite ample opportunity as Boston's most eligible bachelor, the reformed bad boy would rather put his energy into taking over the family business than weed through a world of gold-diggers to find an honest woman. But when the beautiful girl in the seat next to him becomes a courtside spectacle at the hands of her loser boyfriend, he can't help but step in and save the day.

At 19% in, I begin this review with a series of, I suppose they're warnings. It started well, I was enjoying it. But it's getting unbearable. I can tell I won't finish reading it.
1) This is in the kind of first person present tense that makes people hate that choice in novels. I roll my eyes as I protest, 'no one narrates their life like that, Julie.'
2) Even this early in, our MC, the heroine, has already declared no fewer than three times that she doesn't have the mental and physical reactions to men (or women, I assume) that others seem to. Insta-interest in the hero is shocking. Okay. Okay... OKAY I GET IT. I don't identify with it at all (it makes me think she ought to be something supernatural, TBH), probably because the interest for just the hero takes the monogamous theme to an extreme I can't identify with.
3) I'm really done with the gorgeous billionaire trope.
4) There are some not so nice bits; heroine disses sex workers. The horrible ex is overweight as well as horrible.
5) At 21% in, the heroine's thinking about her 'humans as art' theory (in the annoying narrator way), and I... ugh. It's just terrible. She's supposed to be an artist, a painter, yet doesn't base her theory on techniques but rather mediums. It makes no sense to anyone who knows anything about art.
6) Barely into chapter 11 (of 33) I'm bailing. MC equates attraction with weakness. That's it. I'm out.
