Cream of the Crop, Volume 2 by Alice Clayton

3.0

I was kind of disappointed in this book after reading book 1. Book 1 transported me to northern New York small town living and made me fall in love. I was really hoping book 2 would continue that feeling but instead we got a bratty heroine that is completely obsessed with herself. She is one of the first plus size heroine's that I have read, but it was kind of cringy how full of herself she was. Luckily, we got to learn about one of her past relationships and her journey toward self love, so she was redeemed a bit in my eyes, but whoa - some of those first few chapters were mega irritating (this is coming from a plus size woman). The hero was lack luster in my eyes as well. He didn't talk much and had secrets and a weird relationship with his ex wife that just turned me way off. And for some reason, I couldn't get a good picture of him in my head. Overall, I still wanted to read the entire book so that I could stay in this small upstate town. The writing was still funny and witty but not as much as the first book. I will move on to the third simply because of how much I LOVED the first book. Maybe Clara will be interesting and keep my interest.
