mrbowie 's review for:
The Charm Offensive
by Alison Cochrun
hopeful
lighthearted
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
A fun read and my biggest issue throughout the whole book was the lack of stakes. Or I guess poorly constructed stakes. A tech billionaire trying to fix his image on a realty dating show? Girl have you met anyone who’s worked in tech? Or the fact they couldn’t be together because of the show and like the thought that they’d be married forever…it’s a dating show it’s fake who cares. And obviously Dev had ideas in his head about it but like idk it just didn’t compel me. Also another victim of the time jump in the last 20 pages. But! All that being said really enjoyable dynamic and characters and I finished in an afternoon
