The Holiday Honeymoon Switch
by Julia McKay
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
I was excited for this book based on the description but I was left wanting so much more out of it.
This book was heavy on the insta-love. Both female main characters meet guys who they fall in love with over a period of 9 days. Oh and one of them was JUST dumped the night before her wedding.
I really didn’t enjoy the writing style of this book. It was written in third person, but that wasn’t the issue. It lacked variety in sentence structure to the point where I felt like I was just reading a play-by-play description of what was happening rather than enjoying a book. You’d read four sentences in a row that started with “She” or the same character’s name. I’m certain there are better ways to express how someone is feeling than saying “She feels emotion when…”. It really felt like the writing wasn’t at the level it needed to be.
Thank you to Julia McKay, Putnam Books, and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
