Improper English

An unsuccessful attempt at a reread...

DNF...I didn't even bother to confirm where I stopped but her hair just caught fire and she referred to the hairy chunk of mascara that she put on the side of her dinner plate as a hairy gonad. Nope, can't go on.

There's a good chance I was insane when I read Improper English the first time as I originally gave it 5 stars. I'm listening to the audio and while the narrator is doing a fabulous job, the story is anything but fabulous.

I admit, I did chuckle but I think that was more in sympathy for the character than anything else.

This is proof that tastes do change. Unfortunately, Alex's bumbling, idiotic chatter mixed with her history of bad choices and immaturity, did not appeal to me. Adding to that, the hero is also named Alex and he'd be an idiot to fall for this twit, I just couldn't go on with the story.

I don't mind a quirky heroine but a character who is trying to write a historical romance (BADLY) and reads sex scenes to random people to see what they think, I just couldn't gel...sympathise...understand...her.

Onwards...
