saschadarlington 's review for:
The Aussie Next Door
by Stefanie London
DNF @51%
I tried to like this book. I honestly did. I started it on vacation, grew bored, and moved on to something I knew I'd enjoy because let's face it, who wants to read a boring book on vacation?
Today I picked it back up and tried to power through it but started skimming, which is just a waste of time. Thus the DNF.
First off, the pacing is so slow. While I might have liked Jace, I did not like Angie. I did not like her motivation. By now, I've read a lot of books with characters who've been in the foster system. It's getting to be a cliched device, especially when foster parents are portrayed evilly. Since I know so many in real life, this is such a discredit to people doing an amazing job.
I expected some chemistry between Jace and Angie, some fun, some lol humor. Zippo.
Done here.
