Fighting Mr. Knight
by Rosa Lucas
I enjoyed reading this. There were some language choices and jokes I found a bit iffy, but the book as a whole is good fun. It combines humour and angst in a way that I quite enjoy; it made my chest ache. A lot of the conflict was based on very flimsy misunderstandings, but the angst that came from it was quite fun.
I liked the dynamic between Bonnie and Jack. They had decent chemistry and I enjoyed a lot of their banter. I also thought the parts where Bonnie was working through her feelings about her break up with her fiance were quite well-done; I really felt for her and I liked that the book took the time to focus on her development in that area. With regards to Jack, I actually found him a bit of a flat character. He had moments where I liked him - for example, I liked how once he realised he had feelings for her he didn’t shy away from them - but sometimes I found him overly harsh and I didn’t think Bonnie always deserved his reactions.
However, I didn’t really like the subplot involving Bonnie’s father. At first I wished it had been a bit messier - I think it would have been interesting to not have it all turn out to be her father’s fault - but then as the plot developed and I realised where it was going I didn’t really like it. I didn’t find the ending very satisfying and I didn’t really like how it resolved between them.
But the book is definitely entertaining, if nothing else, and I did enjoy the angsty parts quite a lot. I just didn’t find it as interesting as the other two books in the series and I think that some of the external plot overcomplicated matters in a way it was hard to work back from, and I don’t personally think that was pulled off as well as it could have been.
