Just My Luck by Rosalind James6/12/2023 With this book, I have unfortunately broken my New Year's Resolution to automatically DNF at the first sign of Doormat. I am sorry, Rosalind James, your lovely New Zealand travelogue cannot make up for the deficiencies of this particular heroine. To add insult to injury, there is a B plot with the Perfect Romantic Couple that seems to have been inserted in the book just to hammer the point that heroine is a HOT MESS. (Her response to the suggestion that she prosecute the CRIMINAL who violated her privacy: how can I file a police report against him when he has moved to another country ? *face palm*) Also, she lets everyone, from her ex-boyfriend of six years, to her ONS who took sex pics of her without her consent and published them on the Internet, to her boss at work who steals her ideas, belittles her and finally wrongfully terminates her, WALK ALL OVER HER WITH TOTAL IMPUNITY. Then, there's the conversation heroine has with her roommate where her roommate has to explain to her that men sometimes lie and have one-night stands. HEROINE: WHAT?!!!! Why didn't you tell me? Waaaaaaahhhhh *runs away crying* HERO: I am a commitment-phobe who has no room in his life other than for professional rugby.
