bolynne 's review for:
The Love Interest
by Cale Dietrich
So, I heard about this book a while back and was incredibly interested in reading it, so when I saw it was part of the Book of the Month box for May, I was psyched. I bought my first box and picked it.
I'm definitely not sorry for picking this book! It reminds me of the movie D.E.B.S. because spies+gayness=HELL YEAH. It's a silly concept with a good mixture of fluff and some good ole creepfactor. I found myself smiling most of the time, because it was just so fun.
However, I honestly think it might be BETTER as a movie, like D.E.B.S (not sure if a book version would be as funny/awesome), because it might fix the only problem I met with this book: the characters feel a little flat. I know the whole point is that they are acting and playing a certain role to get the Chosen to pick them over their rival, who is doing the same thing, but I still felt like they could have been fleshed out a bit more. And not just the Love Interests, the Chosen and all the other characters as well.
On a huge positive note, I am so glad that the fact that Caden and Dyl fell for each other was the main draw and in the tagline instead of being used as a twist or plot device for shock value.
Overall, I blazed through reading it and wouldn't be opposed to other installments in this universe with different Love Interests.
