Overview
Meet Jenna Adams, a girl who’s always played it safe. She’s never taken risks or let herself fall in love.
That is, until she meets Cameron. He’s spontaneous, carefree, and everything she’s not.
There’s just one problem – he’s engaged to her sister. Jenna knows she should do the right thing and stay away, but the more she tries to resist him, the harder she falls.
Will she follow her heart, even if it means hurting the people she loves? Or will she continue to play it safe and live a life without passion?
About the Author
My dream as a writer is to create a novel that deeply resonates with every single reader. I know it’s a lofty goal, but even the great J.K. Rowling couldn’t achieve that level of universal acclaim.
Instead, I focus on crafting stories that tug at people’s heartstrings. In my opinion, sadness is the most potent emotion, and when combined with regret, it becomes an overwhelming force that can move mountains.
One of my favorite elements to include in my stories is a compelling villain. Characters like Mother Gothel, Gaston, and the Evil Queen, who are all driven by their insatiable vanity, fascinate me.
I find myself drawn to these types of personalities and often make them the focal point of my narratives.
When I’m not writing, I enjoy indulging in some of my favorite things, like savoring the taste of Coke and Starbucks, relishing in the sound of raindrops, and using sarcasm as an art form. However, I can’t stand poorly written adjectives or the tired phrase “smolder”.
If you happen to read my book, I want you to know that I appreciate you more than words can express. And if, for some reason, my book doesn’t resonate with you, that’s okay too.
I’ll still love you, but please don’t be cruel to me. After all, I’m just a complicated mix of half-badass and half-crybaby.
Editoral Review
Tarryn Fisher’s F*ck Love is a contemporary romance novel that was first published on December 31, 2015. Fisher is an American author who has written several contemporary romance novels, including The Wives, Mud Vein, and The Opportunist.
Her writing style is known for its emotionally charged themes and dynamic characters. F*ck Love is no exception.
The book has been praised for its raw, unfiltered portrayal of love, relationships, and self-discovery. The novel follows the story of Helena Conway, a recent college graduate who is struggling to find her way in life.
She is living with her best friend Della and working in a coffee shop, but she feels unfulfilled and lost. When she meets Kit Isley at the coffee shop, everything changes.
Kit is charming, funny, and handsome, and he seems to understand Helena in a way that no one else does. However, things quickly become complicated when Helena realizes that Kit is in a long-term relationship with her coworker Gina.
As she tries to navigate her feelings for Kit and her loyalty to her friends, Helena discovers that love isn’t always easy, and it often comes with unexpected challenges and sacrifices. F*ck Love is a fresh take on the timeless genre of romance.
The book combines witty humor, vivid characters, and relatable themes to create a story that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Fisher’s writing style is captivating, and she has a way of drawing readers into the story from the very first page.
The characters are well-developed, each with their own unique personality and backstory. Helena is a relatable and endearing protagonist, and her inner dialogue often serves as a source of comic relief.
One of the strengths of F*ck Love is its emphasis on self-discovery and personal growth. Fisher explores the theme of finding oneself in a world that is constantly changing and shifting.
She challenges the traditional notions of love and romance, showing that sometimes the best thing for a person is to be alone and focus on their own goals and ambitions. The book also touches on the importance of friendship and loyalty, and how those bonds can be tested and strained by romantic relationships.
However, the book does have some limitations. The plot can be predictable at times, and some of the conflicts and resolutions feel forced.
Additionally, some readers may find the language and sexual content to be gratuitous or offensive. However, these flaws do not detract from the overall quality of the book.
Overall, F*ck Love is a captivating and entertaining read that is perfect for fans of contemporary romance novels. It is well-written, well-paced, and features engaging characters and themes that resonate with readers.
While it may not be for everyone, it is definitely worth checking out for those who enjoy emotionally charged stories about love, relationships, and personal growth. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fun, lighthearted read that still manages to be meaningful and thought-provoking.
