Review: Perfect Strangers

This book is one of those books with a cliché plot but the writing is epic that it’s now added to my favorite reads this year.

One touch, one word, or one look and I was falling down into the rabbit hole of love.

But this time. .. I didn’t want to be affected.

This time I wanted to be the strong girl who protected herself instead of following her heart.

The characters are interesting. I like Mel, she’s smart and independent, and she gave Kellan a chance when she could. Kellan was a jerk, but he’s also hot, and he does have his moments when he lets his guard down. And he is hotter when he gets jealous.

So I did say that the plot is a cliché; I read a book with a stepsibling falling in love, or a hot one-night stand followed by an awkward working situation. But what I like the most is the way it was written. I love the banters and the sweet moments between the two, especially Kellan getting jealous. I especially enjoyed his narration whenever he’s in a bad mood.

The pace is fine; the story and the timeline didn’t seemed rushed, and there was buildup of chemistry between the two. Personally though, I wanted Kellan to grovel a bit more, just so I can enjoy him pleading lol.

The ending was short and sweet.

Overall, 5 stars. This is a feel good story with a hot one-night stand and office affair plot, and I’m recommending it to my book friends.
