Review: Not My Type

Not My Type by Anna Zarlenga
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

DNF at 7%.

Sorry, the writing style is so strained I can't bear to read any longer. I don't know whether this is a translation from the original Italian or an Italian writing in English but either way the characters seem like caricatures, see:

'Why be bored when you can get laid," that's my motto. I wonder if this Sara is easy enough to just give it up on the spot, or if I'll have to subject her to my charm for half an hour? I wouldn't usually have to waste more than ten minutes, but you have to account for circumstances.

So far the male lead, Teo, speaks in misogynist cliches like this all the time, it's like he's a feral animal that has never been to a wedding before.

Anyway, it's a terrible thing to DNF at 7% but I can't see myself wading through any more of this.

I received a free copy of this book from the author via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
