Home Sweet Mess by Allison AshleyMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
DNF at 70%.
Jeni Bishop moves to Kansas City to take up a job as a social worker with Child Protective Services. She has a series of unfortunate run-ins with a guy who later turns out to be her twin's best friend Logan, who works as a social media manager for the local NFL team.
Enemies at first, Jeni and Logan start to become friends. Something accelerated by their love of American football and Jeni's twin brother's cancer diagnosis.
She has decided never to get married because *reasons* and no longer dates, Logan 'dates' all the time but has never felt a connection with anyone, although he desperately wants to settle down and commit to someone because *reasons* (my suggestion would be not to find your dates by accepting phone numbers from barflies). When they acknowledge their mutual attraction Jeni suggests a friends-with-benefits arrangement but Logan decides that is what has gone wrong previously, he wants to date Jeni with no benefits (or maybe he wants dates and benefits).
This is an easy read but honestly I felt like there couldn't be one more trope/cliché left to tick and I just lost interest, I could tell exactly what was going to happen, I knew the secrets which had not been disclosed yet and just didn't care. Sorry.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
