Between Me and You, Allison Winn Scotch

 

Between Me and You by Allison Winn Scotch I bought this book on CD several years ago (it came out in 2018 and I must have bought it somewhere around 2020.  This has been sitting in a basket near the door (amongst other audio books) for car listening.  I imagine that at some point in the future, I will no longer have a CD player in the car, so I probably should be busy listening to the books in this basket before I end up giving up on the old Nissan Leaf.  I'm sure I bought this book on audio because I simply could not get it at the library at the time, but I cannot remember what brought me to want a Romance novel--not really my genre.  Maybe I was branching out or had read a review about the book telling the same story from multiple points of view (something I do really like).  I dunno.

Review:

I did not enjoy this book.  The plot "twists" were rather obvious and only twists by virtue of not travelling the story linearly in time.  The characters were shallow and did not develop.  I think that this counted as a "meet cute" which ran the traditional story line of boy/girl meets girl/boy, boy/girl loses girl/boy, and boy/girl gets girl/boy.  The only redeeming portion of the book is that it was written from both the main characters' point of view, so they were some occurrences where the same event was viewed differently, but mostly it was each validating the other's perspective internally without doing so externally.  The whole story just left me flat.
