2.0

This book was exceptionally bad. It had: 
  • 5 different main plot points, none of which were resolved particularly well
  • A 28-year-old FMC with the inner monologue of someone half her age
  • A terribly unlikeable MMC, with whom the FMC has no chemistry
  • A strange blend of witchcraft and Christianity that serves no purpose other than to let you know the author has read the Bible 
  • A massive potential trigger that could not have been handled worse / had no impact on the story

I honestly kept waiting for the book to get better but it never did. The one redeeming quality are the recipes - those were cute.
