The Perfect Date by Evelyn Lozada is a not so perfect read.  Ms. Lozada has produced a book that might appeal to very young adults, but it doesn't appeal to this mature adult at all.

Angel is an overworked single mom going to school to become a nurse and working two jobs to support her asthmatic son.  Duke is a baseball pitcher that suffered an injury during a shooting at a bar.  Duke is angsty and spineless.  Their story is loaded with drama, ghetto slang, bad decisions and sex.   The story itself I would have probably enjoyed but the writing of it ruined it for me.  I'll be sure to skip any other books by this author.  The Perfect Date is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.  

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
