Talk about a Mismatch!
Somewhat entertaining, but mostly silly. An original, intriguing idea, that I was excited to sink my teeth into but that was pretty much where my excitement ended. A bore to read, with one-dimensional characters, none of who I gave a hoot about. I ended up skimming most of the chapters, and I guarantee I didn’t miss anything, as most of the twists, and so-called cliff-hanger chapter endings, I saw coming a mile away. There was one twist around the 80% mark that was a good one, but little consequences came of it by the end of the book. And it wasn’t psychological disturbing, or suspenseful in any way – definitely a contemporary romance/domestic drama. Very disappointing! I’m just glad it was cheap to buy. Such a shame as I was really looking forward to this one having recently read, and enjoyed, ‘The Good Samaritan’.
