The first few chapters had so much potential for this m/m insta-love
story, but fell apart quickly.
We first meet Grayson Wright, throwing what should be a happy surprise
party for his live-in boyfriend of 10 years.
Thinking that this would be a great re-boot for their waning relationship,
what he didn’t bank on is being the one surprised. Chase Rivers is a pretty boy that is unlucky
in love, starting a new career at an ad agency hoping that this time things
will start coming together.
Oh there is SO much happening in this book we don’t know where to
start; insta-love, bisexual shaming, chick-flick emotions, so many leaking
eyes, fate fate and more fate, ridiculous misunderstandings meddling
ex-boyfriends, inappropriate grandmas and so many references to ‘God’s plan’.
It was a bit much. Grayson spends 50% of
the book being a jerk to Chase, he is hot and cold, going from rejecting him to
wanting him. And chase keeps coming back
for the bait; seriously, has he been so broken by other men he will take
whatever he is being handed. I want him,
I can’t have him, I want him, I can’t have him…..and repeat.
This book is also way too long, a couple times it could have wrapped up
nicely, but it just kept on going, probably 100 pages too long. Chasing Mr. Wright also switched POVs, but it
was confusing and muddled and more than once we wondered which one of these men
was talking, but honestly didn’t care enough to go back and look.
As we can see we can go on about all our issues with this book, but
will just end here by saying, do yourself a favor and skip Chasing Mr. Wright.
