Party of Two by Jasmine Guillory

lighthearted fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

The books in this series are always pretty light but this one seemed even more so than the previous two. Max was a little too perfect and the conflict didn’t seem like a big enough of a conflict for me. The issues made sense but it was just like all is well for the majority of the book and then it feels sort of sudden near the end. 

I enjoyed the characters being in their late 30s and perfect Max was a nice fantasy. So was Olivia as a “you can have it all” inspiration. I loved all the LA discussion and Silver Lake shout out! The end was quite sweet and the political aspect was interesting too. 

I waffled about rating it lower but  I did enjoy reading it quickly and stacked against other things I’ve rated this amount it seemed fair. The 3rd in this series is my fav though.
