I've actually not heard much about it, but I've also become much picker about New Adult titles for fear of these ones that fall into the trap of too many tropes. I've also gotten careful about the sexual abuse story lines. They make me so sad, but on the other hand there are so many that sometimes the feel like they're also falling into patterns. I did just read Faking Normal and really liked it, though. I hope you've succeeded in finding a favorite after reading this book!Lauren @ Love is not a trianglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388832613855107816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-58313459267948769132014-03-10T22:11:56.007-04:002014-03-10T22:11:56.007-04:00Like Marlene above, I haven't really read any ...Like Marlene above, I haven't really read any books in the "New Adult" genre, mostly because I read the premises and know the "signs" that many books in this genre will contain the tropes that you rightly despair of in your review.

The overused tropes you find tiresome, I find annoying too: broken girl, alpha male, trust issues, too much concentration on the physical part of romantic relationships and not enough on the emotional. So many of the books that fall under this category sound too similar, and I'm just not buying what they're selling. I don't think I'll ever want to read one of these stories --unless there's more substance, and I know not every NA follows the same formula, but it's getting harder and harder to notice a difference. Luckily, there are bloggers like you who are trying to sort it out for the rest of us. I still need to try <i>Unteachable</i>! Thanks for the gentle reminder, and thanks for another insightful and honest review. :)<br /><br />Marlene @ <a href="http://www.flyleafreview.com" rel="nofollow">The Flyleaf Review</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274355208601978550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-26039192601895155232014-03-08T13:00:42.805-05:002014-03-08T13:00:42.805-05:00Yeah... no.

My tolerance has basically dropped and I end up pissed when the author tries to create such obvious distinctions between the 'good guy' and the 'bad guys'. It just doesn't work for me. Especially in NA (NA has a certain reputation so it makes me even more picky than I would be otherwise :/)<br /><br />I am really sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy this though :(<br /><br />Lovely Review, Keertana! :)<br /><br />Rashika @ <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato</a>Rashika https://www.blogger.com/profile/03823262638606052465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-65433854435503878702014-03-07T16:07:18.682-05:002014-03-07T16:07:18.682-05:00I really haven't read much NA, but I can also ...I really haven't read much NA, but I can also see the reused tropes again and again. Perhaps it's because kids like repetition? Well, they also like novelty as well. I can see why this one got on your nerves. Not sure if this one is for me, but it's not one I'll run to get either.

This is unfortunate and it seems like a lot of readers are tiring of this. I think NA is on a downward slope unless, like you say, they freshen up a bit. There are exceptions out there, but they seem fewer and farther in between. It just feels like I'm reading the same story over and over. I'm switching categories for a while. <br /><br />Wonderful review, Keertana! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-70556837374980720242014-03-07T13:03:02.308-05:002014-03-07T13:03:02.308-05:00Oh, that's really unfortunate.

I'm just barely planning to branch out to reading some NA novels, and it disheartens me to see novels that have all the potential in the world fail to charm the reader. I'm so glad for your honest review of this one, Keertana.

You're definitely due for a book that's AMAZING and will render you completely speechless with it's awesomeness. It does sound like this one is a pretty typical NA and doesn't bring anything new or interesting to the genre which is a shame.

What happened with creativity? Anyone? Anyhow I'm so sad to hear this as I hoped that Deeper could be one of the rare books that actually is something special in the whole NA world. Well I'll keep on waiting.
