The Honey-Don't List by Christina Lauren
3.0
Well, I read the whole thing, which is something. This is a rom-com about the male and female assistants to a husband-and-wife team of TV decorators (think Fixer Upper, Hometown, etc.) who are not-so-secretly on the rocks. I very much enjoyed the send up of that genre because I have watched a lot of those shows and speculated about the couples' apparently adoring relationships etc. so it was fun to see the whole thing start toppling over, much like one of their shaky buildings (ha ha). I didn't enjoy the soft-core sex scenes between the assistants which are apparently now de rigeur for this kind of romance novel. (I prefer my pornographic literature hard core and separate from romance novels, thank you very much.) The female assistant was an appealing character and had health problems that gave her depth. So it wasn't bad. My problem was with the predictable plot twists and the sappy ending that tied everything up with a pretty bow. I wouldn't read this author again.
