Six years ago Fin Bowie made a decision that cost him the love of his life. Now his ex is coming back to town for her brother's wedding, and he can finally make things right. Except, right before the event, a text he sent goes viral. Overnight, he becomes an international meme. And it's hard to win your woman back when the whole world's calling you The World's Worst Boyfriend.
The last thing on Calliope Bell's mind is getting back with Fin. Not when her life's just gone sideways, forcing her to spend the summer in Calamity, Wyoming. She can't be away from the New York art world this long, so she comes up with the idea to turn the hottest pop culture event of the moment into a museum exhibition.
The two have every intention of avoiding each other--until the county judge sentences Fin to community service...helping her exploit the meme he's trying to make go away.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What can i say about this book? About this author? It's the first time that i read a book written by Erika Kelly, and it was the blurb that drew me in. That and the cover. I'm a huge fan of MC genre novels, and can't get enough, and i'm always open to discovering new authors of the genre. So you can imagine my surprise when there was NOTHING about MC 's in this book whatsoever. And that did make me laugh because it goes to show how much of an impact a cover has on a reader.
Needless to say that this book was about extreme sports, and the man, Fin, who abandoned the love of his life to reach his goals - or rather, found himself having to chose between family and Callie 6 years ago. Since their break up, Fin has grown as an athlete, same with his followers, and Callie has found herself trying to remake herself so that she can attempt at mending her broken heart. There were parts that were funny and made me chuckle, and other parts that made me realize just how powerful social media really is.
Imagine one single text was posted online and then created the latest 'fad' - in this case, Fin became the #WorldsWorstBoyfriend. It made me see how something so small can blow up to become something huge. What i enjoyed was how Callie reacted to this phenomenon. She created an exhibition of those who had been wronged by horrible boyfriends and helped them heal from the pain and maybe even helped them move on.
While the pace was a bit slow for my liking, it did help me put myself in these characters' shoes and helped me appreciate the story. I can only hope that i'll get the opportunity to read more from Erika Kelly and this series in the future.
