A review by mxharriet
Perfect Couple by Jennifer Echols
Did not finish book.
*Received from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review*
DNF
Having heard so many brilliant things about Echol's novels, I jumped at the chance to review one of her newest titles… lets just say I will not be in the near future! I love the covers in this series, they are adorable, fun and cute. I just could not wait to dive straight in.
When Harper is paired with Brody as the 'The Perfect Couple That Never Was', she cannot believe her luck. But with a deadline for year book photos coming fast, she must ignore her feelings for him and carry on with her job; but it is much harder than she expected.
Our main characters… oh dear. Harper, our main female protagonist, was one of the most frustrating female protagonists I have ever come across. She was selfish and seemed to like the attention, though
did not stand up for herself, always seeming to try too hard causing her to come across as incredibly annoying. The main thing is, she has a boyfriend, who she does not get on with but they are still together, and then goes off with a guy she barely knows and who has a reputation. This was the point that I gave up.
The plot was, though I did not expect it to be too original as I just wanted a light fluffy contemporary, was rather slow paced with some of the events occurring leaving you thinking, what?! Unless some of these are common in American Highschools, but judging from reviews I have read they are not. I felt there was no spark or pull to carry on, not to mention the whole creepiness of Harper constantly taking pictures of Brody. I mean, there is a line and she certainly crossed it by a mile.
Sadly, I had to DNF Perfect Couple halfway through as I could read no longer. A very disappointing read, however I will try to read another of Echol's novels, though I can say that I will not be rushing to read it next time.
