Review: DNF-Boring and Unreal
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 02 25, 2013
I am an avid reader of contemporary romance novels, and the premise seemed like something I would enjoy. I got the book for only $0.99, and it is a good thing because I made it to 35% and could not read anymore. The dialogue was just awful. It was contrived and so unrealistic. When I say unreal, I'm saying that as a person who reads these types of books knowing the situations are made up and loves the feeling of escaping into a romantic world of anything being possible. I like a little drama. I like a little sex with my story. I couldn't even get far enough in this to get to any of that. The "drama" is done away with as soon as she decides to spend more time with him without even telling him their connection. Neither character had much depth or likability because of the way the author describes them and the dialogue she uses. This is my first story by this author, so maybe I just don't enjoy her particular style.
