A review by kp_khera
The Dating Game by Jay Northcote
2.0
I liked the premise of the book and it started off pretty well. But...
The 5 dates' rule - broken
Not enough angst tbh... The one "fight" (obstacle they faced) they did have, resolved within 12 hours
Lack of mystery, on what the characters would do, choose - too obvious
It was a quick read, however, so I suppose it's fine. I did like the book, but it had the capability of being loved and it somehow just didn't get there.
I still recommend though if you're looking for something easy, fun and quick. Kind of like the characters/premise of this book:
Fun - they were cute, and the whole "no, not happening" was fun while it lasted (we could all see it disintegrating quickly though)
Quick - just like the thoughts of keeping their dates "chaste"... right out the window
