The Wedding Game

This book is adorable. I love the reality show concept and how detailed they get with the crafts. The families cracked me up. My one complaint is the frequency of R-rated scenes. As somewhat of a prude, I cannot speak to the ah...quality of those scenes. I enjoyed the rest though!

 Well, the plot sounded promising. I even read the first chapter before purchasing; I was all on board. I liked Luna and her relationship with her brother and his fiancé. She was quirky and fun (if a bit manic but I can work with that). I enjoyed the relationship between Declan and Cohen. I was all “Cute names, adorable relationships, DIY/crafty goodness!” This is gonna be great!  Or at least a fun time.  

Then, for no apparent reason, Thad ruined it all. I hated the prologue. Absolutely loathed it. The tone was all over the place; it was crude and offensive for absolutely no reason. And I genuinely want all bad things for Thad. (I get why his brother “betrayed” him; I don't know what Alec did but I'm pretty sure Thad deserved it. And I'm genuinely concerned for his fiancée - I'd tell her to get out while she still can.) It's been a while since I had such a visceral reaction to a character, let alone let one character poison an entire book. But here we are. 
 
So, I took to goodreads to see if I was alone or if the book improved (or if Thad had a personality transplant... or a good old-fashioned lobotomy). Nope, he just gets worse. So, I'm saving myself the trouble (and the seething rage) and calling it quits now. 

On to (hopefully) better reads, though all things considered, that's not a high bar. 

I liked this book. It was entertaining but played out exactly as expected. If you're just looking for an easy romance read, you'll probably like this too.

Narrator was good, but I didn't love her. That is probably more about the book though, not the narrator.
