His Pretty Little Burden by Nicci Harris
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
2.0
I almost put the book down when it stated they were the mafia in Australia. I couldn’t take it seriously, but I decided to push through and give the book a chance.
I didn’t like the age gap. She’s 18 and he’s 35. I feel like the book would have been better if she was 20. The author could have slightly change the story to say she was in college when the incident happened and the age difference would have been less creepy.
I also don’t like how naive Fawn was. She was in the foster care system since she was 10. You would think she would be more skeptical and less trusting of people. But no she was trusting towards her everybody: her foster brothers, Clay, Jasmine and everyone else. Even when people were clearly shady asf. Like seriously it’s a wonder she made it to 18.
The plot was obvious by the first chapter I already knew what happened to her. Though I did find the premise of the book interesting; a pregnant teenage girl looking for dad who was in the mafia and running into the enemy who’s trying to kill her dad.
