A review by bookishlynerdy
Rough and Ready by Cathleen Ross
3.0
This book was kind of good. It wasn’t anything bad per se.
The characters were interesting, engaging and had a boatload of chemistry.
However, I thought it was a little fast. Not in terms of the time frame for the characters’ relationship. More towards how the book was paced. I am totally fine with those binge reads but some binge reads don’t feel like that’s what they are. This one did.
It just didn’t suck me in.
I also couldn’t connect with either character.
Sometimes the feelings and thoughts would be way too abrupt.
When Hugo went to confront his past, it was very abrupt and not at all what I think would have been realistic.
Alice was also going back and forth on her emotions and her thinking and not in a way that say, I would do. I am known in my family for teeter tottering, going back and forth on things. But Alice was doing more than that.
Her father also lost his character several times. Going back on his word and so on. I couldn’t think about it too much as I was reading otherwise I would have thrown the tablet across the room.
While the story was fine for a weekend, beach read, it just wasn’t that enjoyable.
