The Making of Jonty Bloom

3.5 stars. Loved Jonty to pieces, but thought Devan was a stereotypical “hurt millionaire,” and that trope does not impress me. Plus his melodrama was too OTT and unrealistic even for this type of book (not only did his fiance cheat on him with his brother, but they're now engaged and the brother asks Devan to be the Best Man at their wedding? And nobody in the family can understand why Devan can't let bygones be bygones? Come on!)I loved the other Elsborg book I read [b:The Story of Us 42645127 The Story of Us Barbara Elsborg https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1541552860l/42645127.SY75.jpg 65459659], so it might just be that I am cranky and difficult to please these days with the pandemic and the decline of American democracy, etc. So YMMV.
