Review
This is the second book I’ve ever read by Lucy Score, the other one was ‘Things We Never Got Over’ and I liked that one, so I decided to pick another book by Lucy and I went for this one. But unfortunately, it was a disappointment.
Let’s begin with the things I liked about this book. I liked the beginning, the tension between them was growing and great. The ending was also great. The grand gesture was cute. There was nothing I did not like about those parts. I liked it.
However, everything in between was just too boring for me. I mostly skimmed the middle part of this book. I started to dislike Gannon more and more, because he was kind of pushy and annoying, constantly saying that Paige would love him eventually. No, he was sort of demanding that Paige was going to love him. I also did not care about Paige, the part where she gets into an accident on set is sad. But other than that, I just didn’t care for the main characters.
So I was obviously disappointed that I didn’t like this book as much as ‘Things We Never Got Over’. Although I also remember from that book, it wasn’t a five-start read either. But I think the problem I had with that book, was that there was too much Spice in it. However, the story in that book was more interesting to me. I couldn’t stop reading that book, and I just skimmed the spicy parts. With this book (Mr. Fixer Upper), I just didn’t think the story was interesting enough.
Maybe my expectations were too high. But I really liked the idea of reading a book that takes place on the set of a home renovation reality show. I used to grow up watching shows like that. I will still read the other book (Things We Hide From The Light) in the Knockemout book series, especially because I liked the first book in the series.
