I literally finished this book a little over 10 hours ago. I won't say I didn't like it because I did, it wasn't 'OH MY FREAKING GOSH I NEED TO READ IT AGAIN' good, though. It was more like 'WELL I FINISHED IT AND I DIDN'T TOSS IT ACROSS THE ROOM' good. The book was like cheerios without the honey nut part. I felt like it needed something to spruce it up. There were just some parts where I started to feel great and then it was like jumping off a cliff after only falling halfway. A lot of the scenes just felt empty. Then again, there was just so much to actually like about the book too.
The name was very creative! I loved the title and the name - TANK - it's so catchy. Plus, it fit the character so well. Tank was in so many words, interesting. I wish that the author would have stopped explaining everything (in a way) and just "showed" it. Tank's character felt washed down. He was sweet and a teeny bit funny, but he was lacking that reality factor. The GIANT oomph. When a book is great you can practically SEE the character. In this one, I connected a little bit. Just a little.
Now as for the girl MC - Emma Shaw - she annoyed me. I feel like her character was also very watered down, but to say the least, she was annoying. Everything she did was pretty unrealistic, okay ALMOST, unrealistic. Plus she supposedly had anxiety attacks, but they barely came up. The author didn't really expand on any of the important parts that made the character either. So bummer there *Huffs*
Basically, it moved too fast. It was unrealistic. And I liked it to a certain extent. I would write more on it, but I feel like it would ruin the already ruined effect. So read it if you dare....

P.S. This series was called blue collared workers and I feel like the author should have seriously expanded on that, but all she pretty much expanded on was the relationship between Tank and Emma. Le sigh.
