Review: Chasing Ginger


Book Review: Chasing Ginger, by Marie Lavender, 4 stars



Chased by a group of angry men. Saved by quite a hunk.

This is not the résumé Ginger Halloway ever imagined having. But thanks to a miracle pill, which makes her size 22 body instantly sexy, that’s what happened.

Yet, now Lance Franklin is showing interest in her, and she can’t figure out if he really likes her for her, or if it’s just because of a bizarre drug. 

And her wild bunch of friends, The Misfits…well, they’re always getting her into some interesting situations.

So, yep, business as usual. Except for the guy. What the hell should she do about him?

As for Lance, he believes he’s lucky to have found Ginger. But can he convince her they should go for it?

With some new attention from the hottest guy she’s ever met, Ginger can’t help but wonder…is this all too good to be true?


Genre: contemporary romance

Publication date: March 2020

Mature content: yes

Review: Chasing Ginger is a fun and engaging romantic comedy, with a certainly original plot and some great messages - namely that we all need to accept ourselves the way we are ("accept what we're given", in Ginger's words) and that no matter how much of a "misfit" you think you are, there's always someone out there just perfect for you. It's also refreshing to read a book where the main character isn't runway-model shaped.

 

My only concern (and the reason why I'm not rating this book with five stars) is that some parts of the book do seem a bit silly and kind of detract from the important messages.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are exclusively my own.

Happy readings!
