Sean Kennedy (1)

A snarky and fun short piece of fluff for a cloudy day. No real character development or deep plot to think about.

I don't like all these stories equally, but the last two pull the rating up as high as it goes, for me. As is often the case with novels, a great ending redeems any earlier shortfalls. (Or missed points on the reader's part, as may be.)

DNF. Giving up.

Not because our single POV guy breaks the fourth wall pretty often (in first person I find that amusing). Not because I dislike any of the characters. Not the price, it's free. What it is not is paced well. It is. So. Slow. I am stopping at chapter 12, 33% in, wary of what seems to be an iffy plot choice, but primarily I am just bored. And this isn't their whole story? There are three more books? Oh, no. No. I'm done.

This was a fun anthology about the mysterious Chance whose shop Sweets to the Sweet pops up wherever two people need a bit of *help* uniting. Every story is about a different couple, but throughout all the stories is Chance.

I enjoyed reading it, the prevalent JCP stories and the Claire London and Sean Kennedy stories which gave a respite from JCP's unique style.
