A review by raemelle
Buried in Buttercream by G.A. McKevett
2.0
Simple book. Simple writing. Unwitty banter trying to play like it's smarter than it is. Predictable scenes. Cheesy, unrealistic happy endings (the sixteen year old prostitute who just needed to be driven to the bus stop, given some cash, and told to go home to her pretty bedroom and loving brother - and suddenly she's all better).
All of the characters around the main one seem to be these extreme stereotypes. Nothing subtle about them.
And I'm distinctly tired of how the character of Tammy is portrayed. The woman has got to be in her mid thirties by this point, but she's written like a fourteen year old. Saying things like Poo Poo Head and talking in general like a child.
I shouldn't complain. Books in this style are notorious for poor character development and simple dialogue. It's what makes them quick reads.
