When describing why she likes museums, Mac tells us, “I should probably pretend it’s because I’m so erudite and scholarly and love to learn, but the truth is I just love shiny, pretty things.” If this honesty was supposed to be endearing, it failed miserably. At one point Mac even mentions after trying to disguise herself, “I might never manage ugly, but at least I bordered on invisible.” Really. Her vanity and concern about her appearance are endless. ![]() Then her main concerns in life are her hair, her wardrobe, her fingernail polish, her tanned legs, the color pink, and her sister’s death. ![]() That is, until her sister is killed in Dublin. Our heroine Mackayla “Mac” Lane is a vapid, 22-year-old bartender whose main concerns in life are her hair, her wardrobe, her fingernail polish, her tanned legs, and the color pink. ![]() This was one of the worst books I’ve read in a while, and the lead characters were incredibly shallow and unlikeable. I am mind-boggled that, at the time of this review, this book has over a 4 star rating. ![]()
