Jenna Black | Too Stupid To Live

Re: Jenna Black | Too Stupid To Live

Some of the women would be some of both.Guys are not suppose to be stupid. They are the hero and nothing can stop them. The story lines I hate is they meet and are madly in love with each other and then they go on page after page of fighting, leaving, tears, storms ect.Finally in the end she falls into his arms as if she'd been there for the entire book. Waste of good talent on the writters part.
