Purity: A Friends-to-Lovers College Romance

Product Information

Heroine is a complete and utter doormat while the hero is a manwhore who has sex with countless OW while supposedly being in love with her the whole time. He even attempts to have sex with OW after he and the heroine have passionately made out (it gets interrupted with OW for external reasons but they still kiss, etc).

Overall, “Purity” is a great read for anyone looking for a steamy romance with a meaningful message. How to read online Purity by Skyler Mason? The story shows Mari trying to traverse between her desires, family, and love of her sister. All while being true to her self. She’s bold, she’s direct, and she’s free. I loved her character in past books but being able to read her story made me love her even more. I just cannot read books where H becomes sappy, beta man who is fine that the girl he loves dates other men ( she implied What if.. after leaving him). I know people are different and reactions, values and morals varies in culture, countries and in people general but I personally want to read about man who says I can give you time but we will end up together and I will beat up any man who you plan to date.Skyler Mason Aww that makes me so happy that you love the characters. I love them too, flaws and all! I'm not Christian nor religious and I think the whole purity thing is horrid. The way her dad cried and said she was not a 'little girl' anymore - I wanted to vomit She pulls a Britney and has taktok videos telling people about her experiences and then announces that she's going to dispose of this little hymen in 30 days. I don't really know how I feel about the H. I liked his character, but he just wasn't developed enough😭? I genuinely don't know anything about him aside from his daddy issues and weird, unexplainable infatuation with the heroine. Vanessa has been brought up within a strict family,were you are taught to feel shame towards sex and your body.Can you imagine how Vanessa must have felt as a young woman still trying to find herself, so she posts her thoughts and feelings on her Tiktok channel.

And one should certainly never celebrate a heroine who, in the process of trying to prove she wasn't "weak", acts in a toxic manner towards the person she supposedly loves. I understand not wanting to cave to another person's will. I understand wanting to make them earn your love. But when a person is clearly going through hell, and has laid their heart wide open for you, and you know good and well what you want from them, it is not okay for you to make them jump through hoops. What's even worse is both Cole and Livvy read like fake plastic people. I can't connect to fake plastic people! I believe my definition of "kinky" and BookTok's definition have a bit of a... difference of opinion. while i don’t really have issues with these characters existing, i think the redemption arcs of all of the characters that took complete advantage of mari’s grace were rushed. it didn’t sit right with me that people who treated her without respect (honestly brandon included) were able to finish this story having done the bare minimum to deserve a place in mari’s life. to me, there was not enough action for them to deserve that level of forgiveness, and it sort of felt conflicting with the growth of mari discovering that she is enough as she is. i rarely advocate for longer books, but in this case i would have liked to see a bit more balance between the poor treatment and actions seeking forgiveness. the big teenage drama is nothing. The heroine finds out the hero told some lies to win her, and instead of being flattered, as the little prim prejudiced bitch that she is, throws a tantrum and dump him.I would have liked some balance and maybe more focus on the actual couple rather than getting away from purity culture Cole: Livy’s gorgeous, player best friend who she’s been in love with since the first day they met. Purity by Skyler Mason Summary Spoilers ahead, particularly concerning the “grovel” but also other things for context. If you don’t want such specific spoilers then don’t read further.

He tells her more things and she agrees to friendship sort of. He agrees he’ll “be cool” if she wants to date others (though he’s dying inside). A week passes and they hang out more. He invites her dinner with his mom and grandparents. The grandparents had disowned his mom for getting pregnant with H when she was just a teenager. At the dinner H tells grandpa he’s absolutely not going to work for their company (a restaurant that promoted conservative Christian values) and he’ll have to make amends with the daughter (his mom) they disowned if he wants family to take over. The h decides she loves him and tells him so after dinner. HEA.After Livvy and Cole have sex he says some of the worst shit and when they talk about it a few days later his dumb ass blames his parent's marriage and thinks he could never be her for his stupid actions and for sleeping around and bringing girls around her. Give me a break. It turns out that Cole, aka the manwhore, is traumatized with some family stuff and is afraid of commitment. So he rejects her offer because he don't want to lose their friendship.
