Fine, the curiosity got the better of me and I started reading Game Changer by Rachel Reid. I will be honest, the book would be something I would read in my younger years before life destroyed any romanticism left in my body.
However, seeing the handsome François Arnaud as Scott Hunter piqued my interest. No, I haven’t watched tbe series yet. But I have seen that François’s Scott Hunter is only shown in episode 3.
Back to the book, the writing itself isn’t extraordinary (sorry Rachel), but it’s definitely better than the first person POV books that were so popular in the 90s to early 2000s. There’s more dialogue though than setting the scene. It’s not a deal breaker but it kind of read like a comic book but without illustrations.
I think I’m suffering from reader’s dysfunction *wink*, because I used Rachel’s writing would have been enough to make me imagine the characters and scene easily. That’s why I said Game Changer would be something I would read when I still had the whimsies.
However, with the introduction of François as Scott and seeing a few viral clips, reading Rachel Reid’s book has become easier. I’m able to picture the story now. It doesn’t matter if Scott was described as blonde, François nails the role well.
Don’t let my initial review dissuade you from reading Game Changer. I’m just a bit wonky right now due to midlife crisis.
François Arnaud just looks wholesome hot!
Congrats to his success and I will be avidly following his shows from now on.
