3 stars<\/p>\n

I usually love an enemies-to-lovers story, but I just didn\u2019t buy the chemistry in this one\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

Bad Bachelor<\/a> is a classic enemies-to-lovers story: Reed McMahon is Offender #1 on the Bad Bachelor app. He\u2019s in PR, but his own reputation is going from bad to notorious as he racks up reviews on the app. Darcy Greer is an inked up, Doc Martens-wearing librarian (yet she’s still the mousy librarian stereotype inside — grr) who called off her wedding at the last minute, after finding her fianc\u00e9 cheating. Her friends have decided a year is long enough, it\u2019s time to get back in the dating pool. The two are thrown together when Reed\u2019s firm agrees to some pro bono work to help raise funds for Darcy\u2019s library.<\/p>\n

Bad Bachelor<\/a> has an engaging premise and some great banter between its two main characters, but I never actually bought that Reed and Darcy had real chemistry. You\u2019re meant to believe it\u2019s a case of opposites attract, but these two are more similar than they realize. He can\u2019t trust anyone, and neither can she. Even as the two grow closer, it seems like a battle of whose family wrecked who more?<\/p>\n

For me, Bad Bachelor<\/a> would have been more compelling as friends-to-lovers. Reed and Darcy have so many issues and insecurities it would have made more sense for each to be in therapy and initially relating as friends.<\/p>\n

I will say though, the twist with who\u2019s behind the Bad Bachelor app is one I didn’t see coming.<\/p>\n
