Mad Love by Nick Spalding

5.0

This book was such fun to read! If I had to sum it up in one word it would be hilarious. I don't remember when the last time (if ever) I laughed out loud so much while reading. By laughing out loud I mean laughing until I cried and then laughing some more.

The premise of this story sounded interesting to me. Two complete strangers marrying sight unseen and because a computer chose them to be together? I certainly couldn't see myself in that situation. I'm pretty sure it would take two very brave (if not a bit crazy) people to go through with this but that is exactly what Adam and Jessica do. As one could imagine things aren't quite easy for this couple.

I liked Adam and Jessica from the very beginning. They were very down-to-earth and easy to relate to. Julian the priest and Niccolo the speedboat driver were absolutely hilarious. I didn't think I would make it through their scenes I was laughing so hard. Derek the photographer was a fairly likable guy and Cassie is easy to dislike but that made her character fun. She is the person you love to dislike.

While this story is for the most part laugh out loud funny it does take a serious turn. The way this occurred showcased the range of the author's writing ability. The story keeps its flow and pace during this change and the turn of the story adds depth to the characters and their situation.

This story contains some crude humor and language but that didn't make me want to quit reading. In fact, I will be looking for more of this author's work. Every once in awhile you just need a laugh out loud read.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley. I was not required to write a review. All opinions are mine.
