The Fine Print by Lauren Asher
Did not finish book. Stopped at 14%.

Personally IfIfeIfIfelIfIfeIfIfelt the writing was not intricate enough. It felt as if a pre- schooler venturing out into the world of romance for the first time ever wrote this. The sentence construction is not good, the writing level is mediocre, there is no difference or defining character about the main leads apart from some very predictable and eye-roll worthy characteristics thrown in here and there. Through the 50+ pages that I did read this book, I felt that this book was unable to arouse any inclination in me to continue reading it. The plot was certainly good, but the execution was absolutely the opposite.
