Read this in two hours, so it held my interest. It's funny in parts, and I felt bad that Caroline had to kiss all of those frogs before she found her prince. But this, in my opinion, wasn't as good as the author's other books.
There was very little character development. Caroline's dialogue was "typical Southern," where every G was dropped from -ing verbs, and we never really found out much about her or Mike. Mimi was brought up at the very beginning, but she had very little to do with the actual book. The sexy scenes felt OTT and a little forced. The beginning was pretty info-dumpy, and the ending was kinda rushed, too. Even though it was predictable, I was never fully sure what the main point of the novel was, mostly because the POV switched so often, even mid paragraph and to characters that barely had roles in the book. And an editor was mentioned, but I hope this was the unedited ARC version because it definitely needed some editing.
In any case, I'll try more by this author because I've enjoyed her previous work. If you haven't yet, do check out [b:Click|11081111|Click|Lisa Becker|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328328279s/11081111.jpg|16002738] and it's sequels. Those are really great, told all in e-mail form. :)
