It's Getting Hot in Here by Jane Costello
2.0
Lisa is a 40 something year old woman who works in producing reality TV, has been divorced twice, is helping her friend through a cancer diagnosis and is the mom of two preteen/teen sons. While I looked forward to a romance focused on an older FMC, the reality is, if you didn't tell me she was in her 40's I would have guessed 20's.
The character development for Lisa is all over the place, as was the pacing of the novel. From a slow start, which I think is moreso because author Jane Costello tried doing too much, to a rushed ending; the book had potential but needed less stuff.
The romance between Lisa and Zach felt forced from the jump and I just couldn't wrap my head around them ending up together. Also the constant use of her last name "Darling" was grating.
While some may be able to relate to Lisa, as an almost 40 year old I struggled to connect and just waited for it to be over.
Thank you to Zibby Books for the gifted copy.
