A Girl's Best Friend by Lindsey Kelk

2.0

2.5 stars.

I get annoyed when authors forget the details of their characters from one book to the next, especially when it's minor details like the character's age. It just screams laziness to me from both the author and the editor. Well maybe not lazinesss but perhaps they believe the reader would not pick up on the changes. I really wanted to enjoy this book as I binge read the first two books in this series. On the most part I did but I couldn't get over my annoyance that Tess's age changes in the third book. She was 28 during book 1 and 2 but now she's 27 even though this takes place 6 months after. Also, was it six months or five months because Kelk goes back and forth in different parts of the book.

Spoiler

another detail that changed was Nick's letter. It had more words in this book than in book 2

In addition to the age thing irking me, the whole bit where Tess says she won't drink and make a dumb transgression but always does, got old quick. I kept thinking "Tess, have you not learned from your mistake?!?" I didn't care for the additional characters in this story, especially CeCi. Was the whole point of her just to have another mean girl in Tess's life? Some of the things that occurred in this final book was just too over the top for me. I also figured out the Charlie/Paige hookup in book 2. That was a bit predictable after Paige goes to the pitch. I did like the "article" Nick wrote. That cheesy/cutesy moment was what I look forward to in romance books.
