Windfall by Jennifer E. Smith Review

I was sent Windfall by Jennifer E. Smith for free in exchange for an honest review.

So, as you may know I am not the worlds largest contemporary romance fan. I have been trying to change that. In that vein I requested Windfall. It had an appealing cover and what seemed like a cute and generally appealing storyline. It follows three main characters in their late teens as one of them comes into a 'windfall' of cash. The rest of the story however, was fairly predictable. Person A won a lot of money and started by spending it on ridiculous things. Person B thinks that's not a good way to spend money. Person C thinks everyone should relax. Person B and Person A have a falling out before coming to a compromise and Person A learns what the best thing to do with the money is so on and so forth. 

Add in the predictable and (for me) lackluster romance aspect of the story and it just wasn't all there for me. I thought that Leos (Person Cs) relationship was far more interesting than anything Alice was getting involved in and Leos relationship is hardly mentioned.

I went into this book with a pretty open mind, and bear in fact that I thought it was well written and it had a good idea behind it as well as pretty relatable characters. It just wasn't my cup of tea storywise and pacing wise.

3/5
