Review/recenzija: Elle Kennedy: The Mistake/ Pogre�ka
Recenzija na hrvatskom nalazi se ispod recenzije na engleskom ??
Let's start this review with a minute of silence for our beloved common sense that has failed to function entirely after one look at the covers below. Even better, look at the covers of a Croatian version, they're even prettier!
Our brains maybe stopped working, but some other parts of our anatomy are ready to rock'n'roll ??
So let us begin, ladies and gentlemen. This is The Mistake.
Logan is craving for his best friend's girlfriend. Asshole.
But because of it, he feels constant remorse that he's also trying to numb by having more flings he can count, with girls that don't interest him for more than a few hours.
Then one evening, he finds himself at the doors at Grace Ivers. Not long after they meet, he makes his first (of many) mistakes.
He didn't give her an orgasm and he's not the man to live with that kind of a burden.
He needs to fix it.
And not to screw up even worse in the process...
The Mistake, the second book in Off-campus series by Elle Kennedy was published in 2015. There are two more novels in this series, The Score and The Goal, and those were published this year. If you've skipped the first book, The Deal, you can find a review here.
In The Mistake, we read about Logan, another one of four friends and famous hockey players.
Again, the author created characters whose complexity is seen only after you let yourself look deeper into their personalities.
I love new adult novels. Maybe that's even my favorite genre because the characters always get the best of both worlds: they're old enough to have some (mostly negative) experience, but still young enough to have time to learn how to deal with life. Besides, they're normally the ones with the best sense of humor and the ones who can absorb a lot of craziness that modern society includes.
This book has all of the above. The characters have a background that makes their behavior legitimate, and everyday decisions let them meet new opportunities at every step. They are young people with serious responsibilities, but full of optimism.
This novel has left me wanting to read the sequel ASAP!
I really can't wait to read The Score. There was one scene in The Mistake where Dean (one of four friends) meets a girl and they exchange some pretty cruel comments among themselves. I really want to know more about that! Who is the girl? Will we be seeing her again? Is she important to him? Obviously, I'm already anxious to find out!
Did you read The Deal? What about The Mistake? Let me know!

Zapo�nimo ovu recenziju minutom �utnje u �ast na�em zdravom razumu koji je nepovratno ispario od pogleda na naslovnicu ove knjige ispod. Na� mozak je mo�da otkazao, ali su zato proradili neki drugi dijelovi na�e anatomije ??
Mislim stvarno, nije za zamjeriti onima koji bi se zdrave pameti odmah odrekli u zamjenu za ovu ljepotu (recimo ja, ali ne�emo sad upirati prstom ??). Pri�am o Pogre�ci, drugom romanu iz serijala Off-Campus, autorice Elle Kennedy u izdanju Naklade Neptun.
Logan �udi za curom najboljeg prijatelja. Klipan.
Svoju tugu i gri�nju savjesti utapa u jednono�nim avanturama s curama koje se ne mogu podi�iti razinom morala koja bi kod bilo koga izazivala pretjerano divljenje, ali tko je on da sudi.
Jedne ve�eri slu�ajno pokuca na Graceina vrata, a nedugo nakon toga svjetski se osramoti.
Nikad u �ivotu nije mu se dogodilo da curu ne dovede do orgazma, ali o�igledno za sve postoji prvi put.
Sad ne mo�e spavati zbog druga�ije vrste gri�nje savjesti. S �enama nikako na zelenu granu.
On naprosto mora popraviti tu gre�ku.
I potruditi se da usput ne napravi desetak novih.
Pogre�ka nam je iz Naklade Neptun stigla za pro�logodi�nji Interliber, a nastavlja pri�u �etvorice prijatelja, studenta i igra�a hojeka na ledu. Svaki od njih zaslu�io je svoju knjigu, a tema naslova pred nama su John Logan i njegove interesantne eskapade.
Autorica je ponovo stvorila likove �ija se kompleksnost vidi tek ako si dozvolite zagledati se dublje od keramike kojom se doti�ni razme�e. Ne ni�e, cure, dublje ??
Ja volim new adult �anr (likovi izme�u 18 i 30 godina). Mo�da mi je �ak i najdra�i jer likovi nekako uvijek budu oni koji dobiju najbolje od oba svijeta: imaju dovoljno godina da stignu pro�ivjeti ne�to �to je ostavilo utjecaj na njihov �ivot, a s druge strane, godine u kojima tek trebaju nau�iti �ivjeti s time su pred njima. Uz to, imaju najvi�e smisla za humor i kre�u se u dru�tvu koje je jednako otvoreno prema razli�itostima koje im �ivot baca pred noge.
Ova knjiga ima sve od nabrojenog. Likovi imaju pozadinu koja opravdava njihovo pona�anje, ali svakodnevne odluke dovode ih do novih prilika, otvaraju nove svjetove i mogu�nosti. U Pogre�ci ponovo uranjamo u �ivot mladih ljudi s ozbiljnim obavezama, ali one ih nisu li�ile optimizma, a �ak i kada im je nada na klimavim nogama, ne posustaju.
Pogre�ka je divan nastavak ovog serijala (o Pogodbi, prvom romanu, mo�ete �itati ovdje), a ja sam ve� napeta za tre�im dijelom. U svakoj od dosada�njih knjiga autorica nam na kapaljku daje informacije u likovima koji nas tek �ekaju, a u ovom dijelu ta koja me zapalila, bila je scena sva�e izme�u Deana i jedne dosad nepoznate djevojke. Dean je do sada predstavljen kao najve�i igra� me�u �etvoricom. Ba� me zanima ho�e li mu doti�na djevojka i dalje predstavljati probleme ili �e mu pa�nja skrenuti na potpuno drugu stranu. Jesam li ve� rekla da jedva �ekam?
�to vi ka�ete? Jeste li pro�itali Pogre�ku ili mo�da namjeravate ovih dana?
Da vas �ujem,
Rose ?
