Reviews for The Rachel Experiment
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Newly promoted to a management position, introvert Rachel needs to improve her people skills. Luke offers to help, in return for her advice in preparing a business plan for his new venture. What happens when they break the rules and develop feelings along the way?
I enjoyed most of this book, as well as the audiobook narration. Rachel appears to be on the autism spectrum—her POV deals a lot with her struggles to "fit in" and to understand what other people are thinking and feeling. She and Luke have a lovely, supportive relationship. I also enjoyed her friendship with Cecily.
Unfortunately, this book has the same problem as the first book in the series. It just falls apart at the third-act breakup. The reason for the breakup makes no logical sense. Luke doesn't even realize that they *have* broken up. Apparently, privileged white guys don't recognize that when you tell a woman you don't want to go out with her, and then you don't contact her for a week, that you've rejected her?
This is a problem that should be fixed during the editing process.
This author is an important voice and an amazing storyteller. I look forward to seeing her mature as a writer.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
