Review: Don't Mean a Thing

Don't Mean a Thing by Renee Conoulty
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review, which makes it hard giving it only three stars, but my rating reflects my feelings quite well on the Goodreads scale: I 'liked it', not 'really liked it'. My main problem is with the characters. I appreciate the perspective, I really do, but though the story is sweet and Macie is relatable and well written, all others look quite flat. I couldn't believe in the existence of Matt for one minute. Where did you see an immaculately gallant, always willing to compromise, and always perfectly reasonable man? Even if they do exist, the figure in the book sounded empty; like there are all those perfect traits, but no real man behind them; the character had nothing to say. So as much as I sometimes enjoy a sweet romantic story, it takes at least two well written characters, not one.
