Love Among the Stars by Claerie Kavanaugh
Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
Oh boy, I only made it to 25% before I called it quits on this. It honestly has an interesting premise but it’s executed so cringe. The timeline discrepancies was driving me bonkers. So she applies for this matchmaker services on January 15, it’s not til December 31 she is matched with a date. In the January 15 prologue shes been recently discovered and has a few months “in Hollywood” but in chapter 1 with the 11.5 month time jump she says shes only been in Hollywood for 6 months.
Eve matched her with a guy who is TERRIFIED of cats, and naturally Jemma has a very cute cat. Like come on, for “the best matchmaker in the business” to make a mistake that I am sure was noted on their applications, Jemma says that she wrote about how much she loves her cat on her application. Also if you’re the best in the business why would you recommend Jemma to go to a competitor? Like if you’re the best and you made this error how can you expect your much worse competitor to do better? Also if you have all the information you need on her application, why do you need to take her to dinner? This is all very weird and I was not liking the vibe.
This is separate from the actual writing but the formatting and use of spaces between punctuation marks like quotation marks and commas ex. “ this is how she would write , and it really bugged me for some reason “. Or lack of spaces between end quotes and the next word. But it was not consistent which somehow made it worse?
I am very sad because the cover is so cute, but this is a no for me.
