Butterface by Avery Flynn

2.0

---

Narration hammered on the heroine’s looks just a little too much, and I’d have like a little more depth to the writing overall. Also, more typos snuck in than I’m used to seeing. I was also sometimes lost as to the passage of time. Someone’s birthday party is “next week,” but then a scene takes place “a week later” and there’s no mention of a party until even more time has passed. I also wished the hero could’ve been given a chance to bring in good intel (not from his time with the heroine) for his task force’s case against the crime family. I feel like one more round of developmental edits would’ve made this book shine.
