Some of the jokes were almost funny so at some point I debated giving this two stars. But then I spent the entire book rooting for the death of the main character (what an utterly unlikeable man) and the reveal was so unrealistic that I decided against it.
Maybe it’s because I had to force myself to keep reading this and not check my phone every two pages, but the story and especially the reveal made absolutely no sense to me. What did the swingers add to the story? Why was the mafia involved? What was the need to make Valerie a freaking bounty hunter? WHO KILLED THE DAMN CHICKEN?
This was worse than a Netflix original movie and the worst thing is that this could’ve gone
somewhere logical and better if the author had thought about any of it for more than five seconds. But unfortunately, he didn’t.

Awful writing. Terrible pace. Did not care for this one.
Book had great promise but I just didn't find it engaging enough to love. I struggled to finish the book. The characters / plot seemed to jump around a bunch and I was waiting for the funny bits to pop out. A cute read but not one I would necessarily recommend.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Can’t decide if this should be 3 or 4 stars. I somehow found it cozy and enjoyable and a bit stilted and boring all at the same. Possibly the most British thing ever? Definitely more British than Harry’s book anyway. I think I’ll listen to the next one.
