How to Kidnap the Rich by Rahul Raina

2.0

I really wanted to like this and during the first part, I did! It has a killer opening line and it kept me hooked with its dark humour and witty writing. But things quickly slow down and the tepid romance only adds weight. I think it's a structural issue for me, it teases with the first kidnapping then spends half the book going over the tragic backstory and I always get frustrated with this kind of set-up. I don't want to wait for half a book to get to the main meat of the plot when you gave me such a bombastic opening. I have no interest in picking it back up.
