Ms. Demeanor by Elinor Lipman
3.0
On the positive side, this light hearted rom com had likable characters and a cute premise with the romance stemming from Perry and Jane both connecting through their mutual 6-months of house arrest.
While this had so much potential to be a 5 star book with those qualities, I found the entire “Frances Fitzroy (aka the nosy neighbor) plot line to be super convoluted. I didn’t find that it added much to the story and actually detracted from the romance.
I also didn’t feel any real chemistry between Jane and Perry. There wasn’t an “sexy dialogue” and it was missing the banter that characterizes all of the romances that I give 5 stars. It’s a must for me!
