The Grumpy Player Next Door by Pippa Grant
4.0
Audible Audiobook
I wanted this book to be great. I’m used to Pippa’s books being fun. Max & Tillie Jean were no fun. Pippa used Max’s anxiety as a reason for him to be an asshole. Oh, if only we were all so lucky! I’d love to be able to tell everyone to fuck off &, when they call me out, just say I have anxiety. No, I’m afraid mental health doesn’t work that way.
The book just didn’t work for me. Their “pranks” were mean spirited for the most part. (I don’t know why Pippa loves glitter so much.) Max’s hot & cold got boring & his history of whoring around didn’t endear him towards me. Tillie Jean was supposed to be sunshine in a can, but her constant flirting with Max made him really uncomfortable & if that was a guy we wouldn’t be saying how cute it is.
Honestly, the book was decent, but she’s written so many much better works.
