I love a reality trope and really enjoyed Lobster Wars. The theme was a little odd to me at first but the story itself is absolutely adorable! You'll be laughing non-stop and can absolutely picture every scene of this book in your head at you read it. Honestly, lets make it a movie/tv show already!

Read this book if: you love reality tv, you want to laugh out loud

5/5 Stars

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC of this book.

I picked this book because of the cover and one of the bookstagrammers I follow also read it. But I was disappointed as soon as I opened the book. The writing style is not my cup of tea. There is a lot of timeline jumping. I absolutely love lobsters. Sorry it was a dnf for me

I'm so sorry but this just wasn't for me!
I couldn't pass the writing style and when I pushed on it just didn't get anymore enjoyable. 🙃

Nope, vulgar and gross. There should be a warning label that this was written to offend women,

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC for an honest review.

I have mixed feelings about this novel. On the plus side, it is an interesting look at lobster fishing and small-town life. On the negative side, it goes overboard with sexual jokes, innuendos and disrespect for women. In many places, it reads like the script from teenage boys' locker rooms. The character development was fine without all the disrespectful references to women. While lobster fishing may be dirty work, the people don't have to be dirty. Let the plot stand on its own as two guys compete on a reality show, "Lobster Wars." The side characters, like Evan, Darlene and Tyler, add plenty of drama and interest along with the main group of Connor, Wayne and Crystal. In my opinion, the raunchiness sinks the ship.

I liked this book. I enjoyed learning about lobster fishing, and the scenarios throughout the book were believable. Even the characters were relatable, but they lacked development throughout. I think the author did a good job of balancing the different stories.

High hopes fit this one, but it didn't happen. Not a fan.
Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley fit the chance to read this book. While I got the book fit free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

I loved the premise of this book but unfortunately the book, itself did not live up to it. A great story was lost due to the horrible writing

Lobster Wars is what happens when reality TV comes to Tranquility Maine a small lobster community who can see dollar signs and big changes to their little community if they can convince the program producers to stick around. The producers think they have found the next heart throb who is Connor Nichol a newcomer to lobster fishing and the current group of Lobstermen are not welcoming him with open arms and they are finding many ways to drive him out. There are quite a cast of characters that are rolled into this story. The author has you follow a few different story lines that the author does well to weave all together . If you like to read about commercial fishing, Lobstering or a just a good story pick this one and give it a read.
