n0elle 's review for:
Keep This Off the Record
by Arden Joy
[Thanks to NetGalley & the author for providing me with this ARC]
I have very mixed feelings about this because I wanted to like the book so much. The summary sounded great but the book sadly didn’t deliver all that it promised.
Although the banter was funny and made me laugh from time to time, the characters mostly behaved like immature high school students instead of adults in their late twenties. And not in a quirky way, just plain childish and annoying. Their tension never fully developed past the banter and at about 60% I was a little restless to get to the end because it didn’t feel like we were learning anything new about the characters.
Reading the book didn’t feel like I wasted my time but it’s definitely a read once and never again book.
2.5 stars
