Reading Her by Amanda Radley
4.0
I’d take a break from reading books by Amanda Radley, her books had gotten too PG and Disney like for me to find more interest in them. But it’s been a while so I said, why not? I’m not that disappointed.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still be recommending this story to younger readers but there’s a small but noticeable heart warming factor to this book that helped me enjoy it.
Hugo Whittaker is struggling with the typical teenage angst and insecurities, to deal with this he lies and sneaks his way into a gym where he meets fitness instructor, Lauren Evans. Dealing with her own problems and secrets, Lauren is pretty shaken when the mother of the boy she’s been helping at the gym shows up and threatens said gym at the revelation that her son joined without her permission. Allegra Whittaker is a headstrong, stubborn and loud barrister but all Lauren could think about is…how hot she is. Allegra on the other hand, hasn’t dated in forever to the point where she doesn’t even know where to begin to deal with Lauren Whittaker.
As I said before, it’s been hard for me to get into Amanda Radley these days and while this book wasn’t the most exciting upturn, it wasn’t difficult. Definitely a cute light read. Nothing too serious or depressing, slight hotness, good humor and romance.
My problem would be that there’s nothing… special. This book is forgettable, no impression whatsoever. Compared to “Flight SQA016” and it’s sequels, it really makes you wonder if it’s the same author. No disrespect meant but it’s just a bit baffling.
Overall a short read for a casual day.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in return for a honest review.
