The Setup by Lizzy Dent

3.0

This was such a sweet book, I liked the plot and the characters were funny. The astrology plot line was interesting, I am someone who it intrigued by it but I don’t tend to read my horoscope often. I enjoyed Reading about Mara’s love for her star sign, also her comment at the end was so funny.

I thought Mara was a good main character, I did find her to be naïve in some situations. I think this was due to her strong believe in reading her daily horoscope and expecting it to happen exactly as it was written. I did however see good character development happen with her as we got towards the end. I could tell she became more confident and seemed to be a lot more social towards the end. I loved Ash, he was such a good character and I felt he has such a good connection with Mara as a flatmate. He understood her and was always there to help her.

The plot was going at a slow pace at the beginning, I was excited to see how this book was going to end. I didn’t end how I expected it to end and I did like how the ending of a certain situation was left up to the reader to think about. I found the ending was rushed and the events that happened towards the end all happened at the same time. I would had preferred things to be more spread out throughout the book.

I did like reading this book, I was eager to find out more about the plot and the characters. It was a sweet, fluffy romance with a flatmate/friends to lovers plot line.
