A review by saarahnina
Promise to Marry by Jessica Wood

3.0

It seemed good

The novel had a pretty intriguing story line: some bits were cliché ( her boyfriend was cheating on her with her close friend: Clara). Whilst, other bits were extremely unpredictable: Chloe was in an escort service, the details revealed after this bit of information were very shocking.

I disliked how this book wasn't a full novel, it can hardly be called a novel, if anything, since it came across as more of a prologue or a background to the actual novel. I don't plan to read the next one, unless it's free.

I also had a problem with the writing, the flashbacks are of the characters as children, the earliest is at the age of seven. Yet, the children speak uncannily like mature adults- I couldn't look past this.

There is more I had an issue with: I couldn't accept the fact that Jax walked into Chloe's Condo and was intimate with her, despite the knowledge that they hadn't spoken of it and that it must have been unexpected for him.

Oh well, I suppose.
