Don't Swipe Right by L.M. Chilton

4.0

This book was a lot of fun. It starts out humorous but fairly sensible before becoming quite bonkers and over-the-top, and was quite an enjoyable read. It’s a little bit scattered in parts but I think you have to take it for what it is.

The mystery is quite good – I did work out who the culprit was but there were some very tense parts and there were some decent red herrings throughout. The final denouement did take me by surprise, actually, and whilst it got a little bit ridiculous it was well-written.

This isn’t a book to be taken too seriously but parts of it – those focusing on modern dating – did resonate with me and there were some funny bits in it. I don’t think I’d read something from this author again but this was a fun read.
