The Love Wager by Lynn Painter
4.25
If you enjoy cute belly aching from laughter romance books with great banter and a good plot, then Lynn Painter’s books are for you!
The way Hallie and Jack has me hooked from the very first page is astonishing. I loved how their relationship started as a friendship before it progressed into more. I also liked how they stood by each other when they went on their dates and they texted all the time.
But I’m not gonna lie, I am not a fan of the third act. I didn’t like how Hallie in a way was using him for sex andthe whole thing that happened with Hallie’s ex. I found some of the things they did hurtful and out of character. Because one minute Jack is saying one thing in his chapter and in Hallie’s he’s doing the opposite.
I also didn’t like how in the last chapters the POV changed a lot. At least three or four times in a chapter — it was way too chaotic for me to keep up.
Overall, it was a great romcom, just not the best.
