4.25 stars!

Full Review:

“It’s for the best,” he said. “You need to grieve, anyway.”
“You don’t deserve my grief,” I said.
“I meant your mother.”
Oh. Her.
“Don’t tell me what I need.”

The Bodyguard will definitely hold a spot as one of the funniest books I’ve ever read. The humour was a deadpan, dark, straight-faced, oops-I-accidentally-insulted-you and questioned-my-sanity style and was right up my alley!

The fact that I absolutely love the movie The Hitman's Bodyguard played a massive role in how much I loved the beginning of this book. Hannah was hilarious and I was so intrigued to see how the story would play out. The reverse roles in the book were refreshing and unique, considering the bodyguard trope is almost always the MMC, but I loved it this way! I now need more stories where the FMC is the bodyguard!

Hannah has some of the same inner feelings I do as well (and her humour is so similar to mine) so I related hard with her.

“But How does anybody just ever assume they’d be somebody else’s first choice? Was I better than all the other great people in the world? Was I special enough to be the one somebody picked over everybody else? ”

I will be rating this 4.25 stars in the end since there wasn’t much actual romance or spice - actually no spice and a little bit of tension/build-up, but I’m rounding up to 5 stars since I loved the funny parts.
