I love Dex and Leila! There are many pros to this book: great couple, good dialogue, strong backstory, and there's a make up (as in break up) scene that is one of the most honest I've read. The bad bits: the lapses in Leila's uppity English Prof. speak, how she knows zip about zilch in modern culture but sure does pick it up hella' fast. My biggest gripe, though, is how could they be so damn clueless?! (That's all I'll say about that.) Oh, and this needs a thorough edit because Dex and Leila, liking things neat and clean, deserve that.I highly recommend "Human Hieroglyphix" and would gladly let Dex give me my first ink! There are two ways to review this book:If I had not ever read a Kristen Ashley book, I'd say the book was entertaining so I tried to overlook the simplicity of both plot and characters (a little more complexity and depth would have been very appreciated, thanks) but It was OK, I liked it and I'd say go for it. It won't rock your world but It will help you pass the time if that is what you're looking for.Now, since I have read Kristen Ashley's books, I couldn't help but notice:This is like a Kristen Ashley book for teenagers.This is both a decaf AND vanilla version of a KA book.This is like a book KA would have written if she was 18.So, if you like KA and you are considering to read this, I'd say: save yourself the time and the money (I don't know about you but my TBR is getting longer by the minute) and just pick a KA book and read it and if you have read them all then pick one and read it again.
What do You think about Human Hieroglyphix 1: Dex & Leila (2013)?
Liked the story, but it was much longer than it needed to be.
