Her Big City Neighbor by Jackie Lau
Did not finish book.

DNF 30%. This woman is annoying! She doesn't come out as a sunshine personality, she comes out as childish, like her mental age is not the same as her phisical age (she seems to talk like her six year old niece, most of the time). It got disturbing picturing her with a 39 year old man as a love interest.
Another thing that bothered me was the extremely long food descriptions. I know more about the food in Toronto than I know about the characters. If I wanted that, I would have picked up a travel guide or read a food blog. Granted, they are good descriptions, but not what I want from a romance novel.
Lastly, there's a lot of tell and not show when it comes to the characters. And the other characters suddenly know everything about the others with a couple of short interactions. Add the absolute lack of actual plot, and I'm out.
