The Wrong Game
by Kandi Steiner
So I downloaded TikTok. This book came up on the ‘Booktok Recommendations’ so many times, I thought to myself ‘why not’? People are really selling it on the media.
Umm, I don’t know. I just didn’t care for this one. The book begins with Gemma finding out her husband is cheating on her and she’s about to confront him- instead, he turns the tables and tells her he’s dying and has cancer. So she stays with him throughout this. ONLY TO SEE THE MISTRESS AT THE FUNERAL AS WELL. This storyline infuriated me, especially towards the end of the book, and I felt there was no closure for Gemma with this plotline. She signs up for a dating app, goes to a football game with her date Zach. Zach is lovely- a sweetheart, romantic, strong yet caring man. I really enjoyed his character and felt so frustrated for him with Gemma. The biggest flaw is Gemma constantly thinking that all men are like her dead husband, and refusing to talk to someone or move on from this, which results in a lot of time wasted in the book.
This book just draaaaaaaaagged on and on for me sadly. The back and forth attitude and the way Gemma treated Zach only for him to keep coming back to her was just awful on both ends, and I started to resent them both. Additionally, there were several significant SPG errors which altered the meaning of the sentences entirely.
It’s safe to say that in the future, I will be wary of the TikTok book sensations- might stick to Amazon or Goodreads instead!
