Mr. Malcolm's List by Suzanne Allain
2.0

It was fine.

I didn’t particularly like anyone (except Henry who seemed like a dream but maybe that was just by comparison) or understand why anyone liked anyone else. Mr. Malcolm is horrible. Julia is awful and her motivation for her weird plan was very silly. I felt sorry for Cassie, people were so so mean to him and about him.

A scheme is not much of a scheme if only one person is passively participating. There isn’t much character development. Everyone is playing a game that actually no one has agreed to play.

I’d half-hoped that something more salacious had happened at the opera to justify this long con. Maybe even that he was in fact in love with Julia or that he was what everyone said he was. More stories about other women he jilted, something?

It would work well as a movie because it reads like it was meant to be adapted and I’m sure I’ll enjoy seeing it.

No steam, just some kisses.
