A review by samanthajore
The Striker by Ana Huang

2.0

Maybe I’m in a fat reading slump after finishing ACOMAF but I am crashing out. Every book I’ve read recently has been boring and this was no exception. 

This book actually started out as like a 4 star read until about 100 pages in. Then it went down and down as they got together and as things happened. 

It felt like plot twist after plot twist that weren’t really plot twists because I saw them coming and it felt like they were just thrown in to make the story progress and weren’t adding anything. The first plot that they used to put the characters together was like forgotten after a while? It was just thrown together with not a care in the world. 

Then the third act breakup. LAME. I feel like no genuine action happened to get Scarlett to even forgive him. Just gave away some cars and said some words and she forgave him. 

Maybe it’s just me. Maybe Anna Huang isn’t for me. Maybe I just need a good Mariana Zapata slowburn or Emily Henry reread to get me out of this funk.
