evelyn_mosby 's review for:

Vince and Joy by Lisa Jewell

2.5

dark emotional sad slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Loveable characters: No

---

Not what I wanted. Not a lot of chemistry when the characters first met and then they go on to lead crappy lives. I didn't want to read about that. Also, the author didn't make Vince someone I wanted Joy to end up with. He treats his girlfriends in his 20's like crap so I kinda didn't want him to find Joy, and when he decides he's gonna really look for he drags his feet and his roommate calls him out on it. This is the love of your life, (according to you) but yeah, take your sweet time. The only thing I respected about him was that he backed off once he found out Joy was engaged. Then you end up a balding dude who decides to have a kid with a woman who doesn't love you. Great choice!  Why did you make Vince start to lose his hair???
