A review by meganlee3001
The Mistletoe Pact by Jo Lovett
3.0
This book had all the potential of a five star read and I was so sure that's where it was heading but it just fell flat for me.
I loved the characters, they were all fun and likeable. I really enjoyed reading about them.
But the author just seemed to skip over some major events. Like I really thought the Vegas wedding was going to be the plot of the book but it's almost brushed over, especially the aftermath.
Honestly it's a little difficult to say what didn't work without spoiling the book. I just felt like the author really had trouble keeping all the threads of the story going. For example, we meet Millie, a troublesome friend. We meet her at the start of the book. We then meet her again so much later than I actually forgot she was in this book. She makes a random appearance, says one line and that's it for Millie. Never to be seen or heard of again.
I understand that obviously in a romance there's going to be some boundaries to the characters being together but it really felt like the author took these a step too far.
In the end, the resolution was totally anticlimactic and I really wish it had been something more because I was set to love this book.
That being said, it was still a good read and I did still enjoy it.
I gave it 3 starsā
