The Personal Shopper by Carmen Reid
2.0
Another book from our breakroom at work.
Where to start? Perhaps I could just save everyone's time and say that I would not recommend this book to anyone, ever. I don't understand why it was written, I don't understand why it was published, and I don't understand how it was so incredibly long, especially when you knew from the start how it was going to end. There was one twist that I did not see coming that for a minute made this book almost mediocre, but... no.
Just remember, BABES, it doesn't matter if you have a heart of gold if you're not wearing designer brands! For some inexplicable reason the protagonist keeps calling everyone "babes" - not babe. Babes. The book also contains an inexplicable amount of random winking at odd times. At one point I started wondering if everyone has been exposed to some kind of poison that gave them brain damage. That would explain a lot. For some other inexplicable reason this romance novel is very low on romance, and possibly one of the unsexiest books I have ever read.
Maybe the inexplicable reason behind all of this is just BAD WRITING.
