The Love Hack by Sophie Ranald
1.75
This just didn't do it for me.
The concept was cute, but the execution fell completely flat for me.
I found the FMC to be unlikeable and lacked any sort of substance. She came across as a bit of a clueless doormat and honestly didn't experience much growth.
The MMC on the other hand? Had a crush on the FMC, hooked up with one of the girls with her at her sister's bachelorette party, then realized that even though he still liked the FMC he would just keeping hanging out and hooking up with this other girl for like 85% of the book.
Then suddenly they're together after she flew half way around the world, so she could stalk her sister's husband to prove to herself that he's maybe, probably going to cheat on her sister, then she decided to not tell her sister until it was dragged out of her.
I liked the work setting, but the fact that they were with different people for most of the book and the insanely excessive amount of shy looks and blushing on both of their parts made them sound like children with their first crush.
The best part about this book and the only reason I really continued to listen to it is because Harrie Dobby's narration was very well done. Even though the story didn't work for me, she still delivered an enjoyable performance.
Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape for the ALC.
