The Matrimonial Advertisement by Mimi Matthews
2.0
I usually enjoy Mimi Matthews’ novels but after the first half of Matrimonial Advertisement I started losing interest. It got really dark fast, making it a depressing slog for me.
And while others have pronounced this to be slow burn I disagree. They are both pretty aware of their feelings but this book is heavy on miscommunication and a lack of communication. It’s a trope I absolutely dislike and therefore made the second half a chore to get through.
