Small towns can be stifling and sometimes you have to leave to appreciate that maybe it wasn’t really stifling but close knit…that’s what Gen had to learn. She thought running away from her small town that she could outrun her past. The only problem when she finally returns home she realizes that the small town wasn’t her problem and neither was Evan.
Bad Girl Reputation has a bit of everything that I love in a story…small towns, first love, redemption and finding your place in the world.
I absolutely loved Cooper & Evan in this series. These brothers don’t always make the best decisions but they learn quick how to let their heart show them the way.
Fave quotes:
There’s nothing sexier than the way her blue eyes smile when she’s got mayhem on her mind.—-I love the way that Evan is so smitten with Gen😍
“Hey. Don’t look away like that. Everyone has baggage.” He comes to lean against the railing beside me. “We’ve all got a past. Things we’d rather people not judge us for. How can anyone grow if we only let them be who they were yesterday, right?”—-Harrison💕
“I just think it’d be a shame if you let growing up dull your edges. I’m all for whatever makes you happy,” he qualifies. “You don’t need to be drinking for me to enjoy your company—you’ve always been fun no matter what. Lately, though, it seems like the real Gen is slipping away. Becoming a muted version of the incredible, terrifying, vibrant woman you used to be.”—-love this! Grownups can have a bit of fun too 😉
