Lose
Me by MC Frank

I received
a free e-book in exchange for an honest review.
"Today
is not the day I die."
Ari
is trying to start a career as a stunt girl, a job she has been training for
years to achieve. Lucky for her she catches a break when a modern adaptation of
Pride and Prejudice is being filmed on her island home. Thrilled for the
opportunity, even if the source of it was not fully welcomed, she can’t wait to
start the job. Unlucky for her, an accident before they even start filming almost
claims her life. She is saved by Wes, the British heartthrob and star of the
film. Their first meeting is just the start of them both fighting to live
through the making of the movie and their lives after.
This
book was adorable and NOT easy to put down. That being said, there were a lot
of issues with it, even though I rushed out to buy myself a physical copy of it
because it was just that cute and I love the cover.
In
the edition that I read, there were technical issues with grammar and spelling,
some jarring plot jumps or realignments that did not make sense and you do have
to have some suspension of belief with the plot and character development.
Again though, I REALLY liked this book and enjoyed every second of reading it.
Lose
Me is told in multi-media format. Though most of it is traditional novel format
we do have texts, journal articles, emails and tumble posts scattered
throughout. In most book written like this I feel like it is just wasted space.
In Lose Me though I felt like almost all of these added to the overall story
and was relevant.
Since
this is a retelling I wasn’t shocked with the tropes while building the
characters. We have the beautiful shy naïve girl next door, the rich slightly
edgy and damaged handsome guy, the fun loving rowdy best friend and the snarky ex-girlfriend/female
rival. With that though I still thoroughly enjoyed the characters. I loved to
hate them and I loved to love them.
