A review by emilymacgregor99
Insatiable by Daisy Buchanan
2.0
Bought this as a holiday read and glad I didn’t get round to it as it would have just pissed me off by the sea instead of on a Manchester bus.
Started strong - silly and funny and quick - and then just went backwards. The characters that are supposed to be alluring and charming are irritating and smarmy from the jump so you never connect or see the attraction the main character feels for them.
The dialogue is so unrealistic as to be embarrassing and the ending comes out of nowhere. “Love story for greedy girls” is frankly patronising as there is no form of pure or rewarding love in all 300 pages.
