I didn’t know that this was previously a One Direction fanfiction and was surprised that this was decent. I had blindly picked this novel off the shelf and didn’t know until a fellow classmate commented about the book. I must be more careful about blindly choosing books off the shelves. I only do that because its less judgmental and more surprise to see if I enjoy a book more if its random choosing or deliberating choosing one. Names were changed but overall the story was good. Enough heat but not enough to turn me away from this book. I loved it. I ignored the fact that it was fan fiction. At least this was decent than 50 Shades and Twilight put together. I would recommend this novel because of the little steamy romance there was along with the plot too.
