The Date from Hell by Gwenda Bond
2.0
I really enjoyed the first book in this series as a cheesy rom com with a cute little twist, writing was basic but colloquial, plot was convenient, I was perfectly content with it as a comfort read.
Now this book, absolutely nutso plot. Very weird premise that was trying to make the plot exciting but so many random things happened that didn’t add to character building or suspense or the plot. Everyone behaves so strangely and seemingly falls in love immediately (aka mom).
I really didn’t care what happened because I KNEW some more random things would happen and conflict would come up that COULD have been interesting but then just be solved in a single paragraph.
So tired of the main characters “brain blasts” where she says she has an idea, everyone is confusion but trusts her, and it works out perfectly.
I really didn’t like this. I didn’t hate it… so that’s something. But it’s not good at all.
The huge built up smut scene was a giant let down.
Honestly, with such a cool premise - I cannot believe how BORED I was.
Giving a bonus start for they/them usage.
