The Bangover by Lili Valente
2.0
Bodice-ripper kinda book. Was fun to read but nothing else... I'm writing this review barely a week since I finished it and it took me 2 minute to try and remember what this was about, so yeah, very forgettable. There's no build up at all, which is fine actually, and the sexual tension, sex scenes and all that are obviously well done (I mean, that's kinda the point of the book, so better be!) and the dialogues were mostly fun. The writing was nothing extraordinary, but it was functional and fine.
The narration switch between the male and female protagonists: at first they have relatively distinct voices, but it quickly merges into the same writing/tone, so it's a bit of a wasted effect.
If the read had been any longer, I would have probably put it at one star because the cat obsession was seriously starting to make me roll eyes at increasing frequency. I am assuming the author is a cat-lady? I would need to read other books from her to check that, and I might not bother... still, if I had read one more time the words "fur baby", I might have become violent -_-
