The Divorce Party by Jennifer HaywardMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Did I find it hard to even finish this book!!! Look, it’s not exactly awful….in fact for a debut novel it’s not that bad!!! It’s just that the whole plot and main characters were just a bit tooooo ridiculous for me!!!
So here we have Lilly Anderson, is a poor and lovely looking heroine who falls in love and marries the gorgeous and sexy and ultra zillionaire Ricardo de Campo. She feels insecure, thinks she doesn’t measure up to his lofty standards and leaves him…and oh yes, she also thinks he sleeps with everyone woman in town!!! A year later, a divorce party is set up to celebrate he getting her freedom i.e. a divorce so she can marry the new man in her life…yes this new guy is nothing exciting…he doesn’t throw sparks along her way…but he’s sooooo steady and nice and nothing like her soon to be ex-husband!!!
Now, Ricardo de Campo is still in love with the heroine and despite paying her a load of money during their separation, just knows he can’t get her back with his millions…yes, that’s right, Lilly is no gold-digger!!!! Really!!!
Anyway, Ricardo devices a plot to keep Lilly….tells her he needs her to stay married for a bit longer for his dying father and she needs money for her sick sister…and says yes!!!!!
I could not engage with these two characters. They were both so silly….how could two people actually have misunderstood each other was just beyond me!!!!
But I must admit that I will read the next book in the series…just to see where the secondary characters get up to!!!!
