A review by smuttea_matcha
The Frame-Up by Meghan Scott Molin

2.0

I love the idea with MG being a super nerd and female comic book writer, but I feel like Molin overdid it. We got it. She's a female comic book writer who also happens to be hot and well-endowed. While I get that MG is a rarity, it made her seem condescending to the rest of the characters. She had an attitude about her that just didn't sit well with me, sort of like those people who boast that they discovered something before it became famous. I feel like Molin put too much emphasis on MG being a hot, female comic book writer. It made MG sort of like a chihuahua who keeps barking to prove her worth. Her romance with Matteo seemed a bit forced and rushed and nothing that I could really commit to or actively ship. MG felt like the typical protagonist who decided she needed to take things into her hands despite being out of her depth. I feel like this was briefly touched upon, but not really explored. Also, MG's name begs for an explanation of why her parents decided to give her a male name. It was a simple book that didn't really provide any twists and turns that made me sit on the edge of my seat.
