A Not So Meet Cute by Meghan Quinn

funny lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

The pretty woman storyline was promising, and the spicy scenes were very good, but overall this book was not for me. The characters weren't particularly likeable, and they shared no believable chemistry. Mainly though, the writing style and conversations were so cringe! The weird inner dialogue each had felt too jarring when breaking the fourth wall/arguing in their head with themselves. It was hard to stay invested in the plot/character development, but then a really good steamy scene would pull me right back in so I did push through the cringe. This is the first Meghan Quinn I've read, and I do think I'll still give her another try at some point.

There was so much cringe throughout, but these two particularly stood out:

"Hey," I say as I wet my lips. Lottie looks like a juicy piece of meat, standing there in front of me, waiting to be devoured.

"You do?" I ask, feeling surprised. I mean, of course he'd have a yacht, he's a billionaire who lives by the ocean. Why wouldn't he have a yacht? That would be like... uh... like a knight without a horse. Sure, that works. Well, and a sword of course.
