Ladataan... 99 Percent MineTekijä: Sally Thorne
![]() - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. ![]() ![]() I suspect this is a good book - moody and reflective. But despite several goes, I can't follow it. Being an audiobook, I may not have concentrated sufficiently, but I might put some of the blame on the narrator. Jayme Mattler has a sexy disengaged kind of tone. She reads slowly, packing her presentation with character. It's a first person narration. And it doesn't feel like reading, but storytelling. I don't know why it doesn't work, or why I can't follow the book enough to pick up the story threads. I gave up after just 2/12 parts. This was a fun, quick read for me! The three main characters were all quirky with lots of baggage. I love when a romance novel has characters that aren’t perfect and full of flaws. While Darcy thinks Tom is “perfect” the story shows that it’s impossible for anyone to live up to such high expectations. I've read a handful of others' reviews of 99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne, but unlike most of those readers, I was not eagerly anticipating Thorne’s second book. I have not yet read "The Hating Game,” nor knew about the author. I ended up purchasing this book at a Barnes &Noble “Blind Date with a Book” display. In particular, I was drawn to blind date clues indicating the book included "property reconstruction," "friends to lovers," and "witty dialogue." I admit I had some trouble early on getting the hang of the dialogue, but once I settled in, I read the book in a few hours. While I enjoyed the book, it isn’t on my favorites list. Having said that, I have a pretty long list of DNFs, so I considered it good enough to finish, and even stayed up late to do so. Protagonist Darcy Barrett, her love interest Tom Valeska, and Darcy's twin brother Jamie were an unusual friendship triangle. Darcy’s best friend Truly didn’t appear enough in the book for my liking, and I am on the hunt for Underswears. Do they exist? ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML: From the USA Today bestselling author of The Hating Game, soon to be a movie starring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell, an unforgettable romantic comedy about a woman who finally has a shot at her long time crush??if she dares. Crush (n.): a strong and often short-lived infatuation, particularly for someone beyond your reach... Darcy Barrett has undertaken a global survey of men. She's travelled the world, and can categorically say that no one measures up to Tom Valeska, whose only flaw is that Darcy's twin brother Jamie saw him first and claimed him forever as his best friend. Despite Darcy's best efforts, Tom's off limits and loyal to her brother, 99%. That's the problem with finding her dream man at age eight and peaking in her photography career at age twenty??ever since, she's had to learn to settle for good enough. When Darcy and Jamie inherit a tumble-down cottage from their grandmother, they're left with strict instructions to bring it back to its former glory and sell the property. Darcy plans to be in an aisle seat halfway across the ocean as soon as the renovations start, but before she can cut and run, she finds a familiar face on her porch: house-flipper extraordinaire Tom's arrived, he's bearing power tools, and he's single for the first time in almost a decade. Suddenly Darcy's considering sticking around to make sure her twin doesn't ruin the cottage's inherent magic with his penchant for grey and chrome. She's definitely not staying because of her new business partner's tight t-shirts, or that perfect face that's inspiring her to pick up her camera again. Soon sparks are flying??and it's not the faulty wiring. It turns out one percent of Tom's heart might not be enough for Darcy anymore. This time around, she's switching things up. She's going to make Tom Valeska 99 percent hers. This next hilarious romance includes a special PS section with two Happily Ever Afters??one for this novel featuring Darcy and Tom and the other, an epilogue featuring fan favorites Lucy Hutton and Josh Templeman from The Hating Game!
