A review by midknytowl
Ruby Spencer's Whisky Year by Rochelle Bilow

Did not finish book. Stopped at 54%.
This book has been...fine? While I was listening to it, I would get into it and let going for a while, but I rarely felt like listening to it otherwise. Two days of choosing to listen to music while driving instead, including one day with three hours of driving, basically just showed me I don't care.

The twists and mysteries up to this point have been extremely predictable. Ruby just got less likable to me as the time went on, and considering I questioned her right away when she landed after a long international trip, noticed how much she stank, and did not immediately shower, she didn't start high up. (I mean she put on a sweater in her gross smell, slept in it, then put it on the next day after showering. Girl no.)

Seriously though, her  deciding to keep the big secret and justifications for it were so stupid I stopped reading. She should stay single and he should find better.

Also they just had their first kiss and I have no idea why it took that long. Maybe the author was trying to go for they keep getting interrupted but it was done in a way I wasn't even sure he was in to her for most of what I read.

Positives, I liked that they were both in their mid-thirties and she had casual sex prior to moving to Scotland. Tinder dates where you end up having disappointing sex is a nice touch of realism I enjoy in a contemporary.  Also the narration was good. I cringed a bit at the Scottish accents, but I just finished listening to three highland romances that were narrated by a scotswoman. I think if that wasn't the case the accents would be fine.
