A review by beastreader
Night in Shanghai by Nicole Mones

2.0

Another book that I picked because I wanted to read it. I was in the mood for a good love story set in a foreign area. Sadly this book was not for me. I tried really hard to want to love or even like this book as I read so many did like this book. I did not fall in love with the characters. It was the location that did win me over. However this was not enough for me to stick with this book after a while. It started out slow. I then jumped a few chapters and started reading again. I was starting to get into the story and thought ok, I just did not give it enough time. My excitement was too quick and I soon faltered again. The descriptive writing by the author was nice as it did help me to envision Shanghai but it was this same writing that helped drag the story on for me. So with a lack of interest in the characters and the long drawn out writing of the story, I finally threw in the towel.
