Sage Collins knows a thing or two about odds. A year ago, she was a data analyst until she burned it all down to pursue her dream of becoming an author. One whirlwind bestseller and a struggling second book later, and Sage isn’t sure she’ll ever write a novel again.
But then an accidental encounter with an irritating passenger on the flight to Comic Con leaves Sage in an untested position. That passenger is Theo Sharpe: a breakout actor on the cusp of fame. And, unfortunately, the paparazzi have mistaken her for his girlfriend.
Armed with signature British charm and a smile that could tame oceans, Theo wears fame like a well-fit coat…though Sage can see there’s something deeper held in his eyes. But his fans are too involved in the drama, the pressure to deliver the next bestseller is on, and Sage and Theo both must agree there’s nothing between them. They don’t have to acknowledge that saying it doesn’t make it true.
When Sage decides to flee to Scotland to clear her head and write her novel, she expects to find fresh air and the stillness to think. What she doesn’t expect is Theo Sharpe to come back into her life…and how he may be her greatest miscalculation of all.
An emotionally-charged novel in the vein of Ashley Poston and Yulin Kuang, The Odds of You is a smart and sexy first contemporary novel from bestselling romantasy author Kate Dramis.
*MY THOUGHTS*
This had the recipe to 100% be a Nikki book. But it just did not work for me. I looked though all the other reviews for this book and I felt so weird. How did I feel this way about it when everyone else loved it? In reality I just never felt their chemistry and she spent too much time acting like she didnt like him and then all of a sudden thy were falling in love. It was too much.
Ok so the only thing I really liked was the setting. I’ve never been to Scotland, so I was excited to read about it in this book. But there weren’t that many things that I hadn’t heard of before and I wasn’t exactly blown away by the author’s descriptions either. It was ok because I wanted to go there and I recognized some things, but still in a way disappointing. Telling and not showing I guess.
As far as the writing style, that’s where I had the most issues. I couldn’t not stay away when I was listening to this. I’m not sure if it was because the narrator or the story or the writing style. But I just couldn’t get into it. And I think if I had been reading with my eyeballs I would have DNFed it. But I held on because this had all the makings to be one of my favorite books. I have no real idea where this went so wrong.
This should have been a slam dunk, but ultimately it was a swing and a miss. But I will say this, maybe check other reviews and take this one with a grain of salt lol I’m truly in the minority with this one.
Overall, I give this0
