I know! It’s the kind of thing that almost gives me book rage. Or, to stay on the them the industry theme- false advertising. 😉

I was all set to love it but the stereotypes and tropes went too far and took over the book. I love chick lit- even though some people hate the term but I don’t like things that are silly and by the end this was really silly.

I do it myself when trying to explain a book to someone, but it seems to require more through than these marketing people are using!

And comparing a book to another book I’ve loved or a tv program I enjoy, is one way to get my attention but like you said it’s often not the best way to find new books!

I’m finding that comparative blurbs are growing in popularity, and I’m not sure they fit as well as they used to. I’m being careful not to rely on the comparative trend alone.

I don’t like writing wholly negative reviews but my goodness, I am helping people find things to read and this is not a good choice.

Most recently by Speed Kings being billed as “the next Boys in the Boat”. Anyway – won’t be reading this one! Thanks for your honesty!
