The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden Review
Ho and hum. I really hated this at first. The writing is seriously, seriously atrocious. I don't think it ever saw the inside of an editors office. But the thing is, I am an absolute sucker for a love story. And once this got going it was a very cute love story. I actually think I would have preferred it without all the torture, torture dramarama because so much of that had me rolling my eyes and laughing at loud (I think I was supposed to be 'moved'. Oops.) The dialogue is clunky in places, nobody talks like that in real life. A lot of the minor characters are kind of like bad caricatures (Daisy, I'm looking at you). Also Callie wrapped her legs round his waist EVERY time they kissed, who does that?! (No one, is the answer.)
Still. I did kind of like it by the time it finished. It helps to skim read so you don't notice the bad grammar as much. I might even try and read the next one!
