pixelatlantis 's review for:
The Setup
by Lizzy Dent
~I received this book free from Netgalley for an honest review~
I went into this book expecting it to be a fun light read. There were definitely parts that fit that but I found that I was rather stressed throughout the book.
Mara is a very frustrating main character. I completely understand someone not trusting themselves and relying on fate but at times it was quite difficult to read. It was due to this that I couldn't quite fully enjoy the story.
That being said, I did love the small town aspects of the book and the connections between the townsfolk and Mara's workmates were lovely.
Overall it was a fun read, a little stressful at times but I did still enjoy the book.

While I enjoyed parts of her romance with Ash, I actually felt like she didn't deserve him. She treats him awfully and hardly ever seems to appreciate all the things that he does for her. While I don't mind reading about flawed characters, Mara just felt too rude and mean. I was left feeling sorry for Ash when they actually end up together.That being said, I did love the small town aspects of the book and the connections between the townsfolk and Mara's workmates were lovely.
