I was really disappointed by this book. The blurb is probably the most coherent thing about it. The story itself throws the reader into the deep end with characters and plot and never really establishes either. The characters read like badly written teenagers, and they are in their twenties and thirties. Nothing happens for long stretches of time, and then suddenly they happen on a dime, making the story impossible to follow - at one point the male lead gets amnesia, but try as I might I could not find what event in the story caused it!
Clearly more of the story remained in the author's head than made it down onto the page. Do not recommend.

gave-up-on
September 15, 2020I won a copy of this through a Goodreads giveaway, and it's also available for free though Amazon's KindleUnlimited.
I love the cover and the premise, but I have to DNF this really early on. The editing is just not there. I don't know if an earlier draft was published, but punctuation and proofreading errors abound. This has the bones of a quick, fun, juicy read, but I am too distracted trying to parse sentences, tripping over extra or missing words in a sentence, misplaced or missing punctuation, general errors, etc.
I am not rating this because I couldn't get beyond these issues to give the story a fair shake, and couldn't get to a place of relaxing and enjoying.
I think the author might have potential, and I would advise readers who are drawn to this book to give it a go through the KindleUnlimited program, or to download a sample. If you're a grammar stickler, you're probably going to be even more distracted than I was, but if that's not a big deal to you then you just might love The September Project.
I hope that this showing up in the Goodreads feed will make readers who might enjoy this aware of its existence.

I get no joy in these types of ratings at all, but if I'm gonna taste it as such I should at least explain why.
It made no sense. The story just jumped in as if we're already supposed to know these characters and what's going on, and I was immediately confused. I tried to continue thinking things would even out and make sense soon enough, but that wasn't the case. After a while, I just stopped reading altogether.

I'm not a huge romance fan but I thoroughly enjoyed this one! What a fun book with behind the scenes looks at reality TV and the craziness that goes with it.
