Abbie Baker
was a hopeless dater and a daily blogger. She often amused followers with her
dating stories on Abbie’s Outings. In a drunken stupor, she posts about her bad
date with a co-worker. Toby (the date) was outraged when he read the awful,
untrue things she said about him. The worst part was that everyone in the
office now pegged him as a boring, unsatisfying groper. He decided that Abbie
needed to pay, so he hatches a scheme for his friend to date Abbie, make her
fall in love, then dump her. Using her blog, the 2 men create the “perfect man”
for her. But it’s backfiring. The more time Toby spends with Abbie, the more he
likes her; and vice versa. Abbie never realized how wrong she was about Toby,
and she starts feeling remorse and guilt.
Story had a
lackluster vibe. It had an interesting plot, but there was no enticement in the
delivery. I mean, we were dealing with dating revenge here. Couldn’t we crank
up the drama a bit? Make it a little more excieting? Toby and Abbie certainly had
that sweet chemistry. I kinda wished Toby would’ve gone through with his plan,
but I guess that’s not how nice guys work. The story was going pretty good, but
then it ended with a cliffhanger, which I hate. Book 2 wasn’t much better
either.
My rating: 3 stars
