Technically, DNF'd at 56% then skimmed the rest. This book is not at all what I was hoping for.
Flirting With Fate opens in a severe thunderstorm and Ava's Nana on her deathbed...for the 8th time. There is a note of humor mixed into Ava trying not to miss saying goodbye to her Nana, making for a rather captivating first chapter.
After that first chapter, the story starts to drag. There were large chunks I just didn't care about. I really don't feel like the story was the 'swoony' romance I was promised from the synopsis. It felt more centered around Ava and her sisters and while that's just fine for any other story, this one doesn't live up to the swoon. It felt more like a big tangled, messy scheme.
While Ava was a likeable character most of the time (I enjoyed her sense of humor), the plot was incredibly predictable and the story didn't seem to center around the "love interest" as you'd assume it would, his character fell flat for me and I wasn't invested in their relationship.
Overall, just not for me.
Thank you PenguinTeen for the e-ARC to read and honestly review.
