This is the story of Rose and Tyler - in their 60s, one is divorced, the other is a widower and both are looking at another chance at love. In their case, a revisiting of a long ago past flirtation.

Being a relationship later in life, they both bring a little baggage - and in the case of this book, that would be their children: Laura, Nat, Emmy, Seth and Mallory.

What results is a gaggle of characters who seem infantile and immature - including Tyler and Rose! The tantrums and sulks that result in interactions between siblings or parents and children really didn't feel very authentic.

I have read Joanna Trollope novels in the past and have enjoyed her storytelling ability, but found this book was lacking a believable quality. It also wrapped itself up a little too nicely.

Not my favourite recent read - it was ok because Trollope is a competent author - but the plot and the characters left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.

Thank you Netgalley for a chance to read this wonderful book. Marriage second time around with baggage, problem we face in life more and more. Loved the story and the characters. Great book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Joanna Trollope for allowing me to read and review An Unsuitable Match. I really enjoy Joanna's books, and this one was predictably on par with her others. Enjoyable. 4/5
