Benny and Shrimp by Katarina Mazetti
Desire is mourning her late husband and Benny his mother. The grave sites happen to be right next to each other and Benny and Desire often find themselves sitting on a bench in the graveyard together. At first, they are annoyed by the presence of another person, but eventually they make a connection. They begin a relationship and find that there is a lot of passion between them – good and bad. They seem to be perfect for each other and totally wrong for each other all at the same time.
This book was a really quick, light read, but I didn’t really enjoy it. The characters were annoying and selfish and the story moved a little too fast for my liking. I also really hated the ending. It wasn’t believable or satisfying. However, I think some people might enjoy this book and apparently have as it’s supposedly an international bestseller. It just wasn’t for me.
