The Trouble with Honor by Julia London

2.0

DNF.

I'm having a hard time describing this book. And honestly I think it comes down to preference. And while I have no qualms with London's writing, stylistically and grammatically speaking, I had a huge problem with her protagonists. I did not, could not like the heroine. I don't like the mean girl character, and though the heroine was doing it for a supposedly good cause, it was hard for me to like her, I did not find a single redeeming quality about her. And while the hero was a bit better, I was not convinced that he was intrigue by her, so there was no chemistry for me between these two. It felt forced and rushed.

And same goes for the plot. It felt unnecessary. And to repeat, forced and rushed. I just could not get into it. And I was already 47% along.

I am going to give her another shot, however.
