The Do-Over
The Do-Over | MK Schiller
7 posts | 8 read | 1 to read
Arrogant womanizer Kyle Manchester hates blind dates, however, when best friend, Brad calls in a favor, insisting Kyle take out his girlfriend's sister, Kyle reluctantly agrees. Attorney Lanie Carmichael's appearance is no surprise. She is dowdy, awkward, and dressed in so many layers she resembles a wedding cake, but not in an edible way. Her brazen attitude though, astonishes him, especially when she explains she has no interest in gorgeous Kyle. Lanie Carmichael is in love with Brad, and wants Kyle's assistance in winning his best friend's heart. Kyle gradually accepts, justifying that the mystery of Lanie has sparked his natural, thirsty curiosity. As an ambitious journalist, he also can't resist the Pulitzer worthy scoop she offers him. However, as Lanie sheds more layers, both emotionally and physically, Kyle begins to examine his life choices, and his true feelings for this enigmatic girl. With Kyle's support, Lanie begins to unravel the secrets of her past, and the deep pain that has quietly defined her life. As they each learn more about themselves and each other, both question how a relationship built on fraudulent lies between two broken people could ever survive.

I came across this while searching for "best friends to lovers" story and wasn't disappointed. Schiller does a good job alternating perspectives between Kyle and Laine. It was exciting to see what would happen in the end.

Conflicting Part (See picture above):

This was after the two main characters have sex for the first time. Says it was the best he ever had. A lot of people in reviews said they hated that line. I'm conflicted.

On one hand I scoffed too.
On the other, you could chalk it up to him finally being in love and that's the way he shows it. By calling her the best.

I don't know. Either way, I felt the story was solid but wasn't executed well.

Pros:

The main couple has a spark. They were well paired. It was just too rushed. The two actually talk to each other (until the end but yeah, can't have it all).

Plot was solid. I bought it.

Had a 28 year old virgin which was nice to see. Not everyone loses their virginity when they are teenagers.

Cons:

The main guy falls too easily for a ladies man.

The main girl varies from innocent to all knowing in a single paragraph.

You could argue they are like this because they are both putting on fronts but yeah.

The nice guy turns out to be vicious. Yeah, no. We as an audience don't get to spend much time with him to deal with the whiplash.

Rushed. Any great possible plot point is rushed or isn't allowed to be developed naturally.

I read this book in an hour. I have LOTS of thoughts but right now I'm conflicted on so much. Sometimes I have to remind myself it's just a romance novel and I need to let certain things go. Hmmm...review to come.
