A review by virgo_reader
Canadian Boyfriend by Jenny Holiday

2.5

I have pretty mixed feelings on this book. The writing was good. The set up was good. I liked the way it explored complicated dynamics with abusive parents and eating... the way it talked about grief and anger with a spouse who has died... 

But I was left feeling very mixed about the book. I didn't understand the "third act conflict."

Why would she keep a binder of letters she wrote? I bought the fake letters in Tessa Dare's When a Scot Ties the Knot but this one was beyond ridiculous. And why would he be so angry when she didn't lie?? She literally wrote fake letters to an imaginary Mike, not HIM. She didn't imagine her Mike was a celebrity or professional hockey player. I don't know. It just felt SO WEIRD.
