Stupid Girl by Cindy Miles | Rating: ★★★★☆

Firstly, I’d like to give a shout out to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an opportunity to read this novel in exchange for an honest review. Stupid Girl's summary had me intrigued the second I read it and truthfully, I wasn't expecting anything more than the typical contemporary romance — which isn't a bad thing.

In fact, it was what I was looking for. And before I dive into my review of this novel; I have a couple of things to warn you of if you should decide to read it. Number one being that this novel does have a background of sexual assault — it doesn’t go into great detailing, but it is enough to trigger someone. And number two, this is definitely one of those good girl meets bad boy, sparks fly sorts of novel.

So, if that isn’t your cup of tea or you’re simply not looking for that sort of story at the time being Stupid Girl is not for you. Now, onto the review…

Before the story starts, we get a glimpse of the year prior to Stupid Girls events. We see a groggy, obviously drugged, taken advantage of and injured Olivia trying to place where she was; why her brothers were yelling at her boyfriend. You sense right away what has happened and in this moment, we see three things: scars that will grow on Olivia’s heart, the bond that she has with her brothers and that her then-boyfriend is an utter piece of shit.
