Rich Prick - Tijan

Ruminations of an Insomniac.. 

Tijan never disappoints me. This one was no exception. I'm sure it was painfully obvious, but I've been in a bit of a book slump. Not that there aren't hundreds of new books and thousands of older ones to read. And it wasn't that I had no interest in reading many of them. My tbr list is almost embarrassingly long. I just found myself not clicking with stories, finding connection in books like I usually do. But then Aspen and Blaise came along and I felt a shift again. This story, was just so full of real life humanity. It captured me. 

More than just the pretty girl, hiding in the shadows. Aspen is the personification of a daisy. A perfect balance of delicate and resilient determination. She represented hope for me, as I watched her bloom up through concrete. But she couldn't have done that, is Blaise had been anyone but himself. With his larger than life personality masking an unexpected reality, he was so raw and real to me.

"I turned to look out over the place I’d never considered my home. For some reason, maybe it was a gut feeling, one of those hunches, but I knew. Something was wrong." - Aspen Monson

Tijan has always depicted characters with complicated depth, well. Her attention to detail draws a vivid picture in my mind. Not just of what the characters look like, but who they actually are. And the slow burning chemistry between Aspen and Blaise wouldn't have been done justice without that depth. Another Tijan great for the collection. Read it. It reignited my love for characters and their stories, maybe it will help you in some way too.

Synopsis:

He walked into school on his first day and owned it. I guess that's what happens when you're a prick, rich, and you're best friends with the ruling school's king. 

Also didn't hurt he's drop dead gorgeous.

That's all fine.

I mean, I have nothing to do with them. I'm a loner, invisible, and that's how I wanted it to be. 

I was even proud of it, until I wasn't.

Until I saw a girl kneel before him. Until I couldn't look away. Until he caught me watching. 

His name is Blaise Devroe. 

My name is Aspen Monson. 

He only knew how to get command, and demand attention. I knew how to do everything but that. 

And this is our story.
