[Review] Jennifer Greene: Ain't Misbehaving



romance

You can buy it here:
Ain't Misbehaving (Amazon eBook)

Summary:
Ain't Misbehaving is the story of Mitch, who has been fighting a severe illness for 13 years and thus missed out on his teenage years, and Kay, a sex ed teacher. Being ill throughout highschool, Mitch never dated or had girlfriends and thus also missed out on everything that came with it, but he now has a clean bill of health. When he mets Kay and discovers that she is a sex ed teacher, he is afraid she may have expectations that by far exeed his knowledge and thus he is reluctant about getting ino a relationship with her.

My thoughts:
This was actually more than the fluffy read I expected. At first sight, Kay and Mitch appear to be absolute opposites, but looking closer not everything is as it seems. The set up with Mitch having been sick for so long and not telling Kay about it at first was quite interesting, as it left not only Kay guessing, but also the reader. It took quite a while until his illness was confirmed, even though there were hints here and there. What bothered me a bit was that even when his not telling her about it caused problems, Mitch would not open up to Kay about it. That particular part of the plot seemed rather fabricated to me. However, the characters were wonderful and all in all very likeable and I enjoyed reading this novel, so the fabricated problem(s) did not weigh in too heavily.

Rating:
4/5

FTC: I received this as an eGalley through Netgalley
