Zyla & Kai by Kristina Forest

Not my cup of tea

The story started off well and I was intrigued by the mystery but the whole thing was a disappointment at the end. I didn't feel the chemistry between the characters at all and the novel was too long for this genre. The never ending relationship drama between the characters was too much of a drag for me.

There was nothing wrong with it; I just wasn't enjoying it.

I have mixed feelings on this one. I enjoyed the story and the writing. My issue is that it felt so long. There were many chapters that seemed pointless. We had the POVs of people that didn’t matter and didn’t add anything special.

Overall It was a cute story and I would definitely read something else from the author.

*I received this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*

This book was just OK for me. I loved the premise, but unfortunately it fell a little flat for me, especially towards the end.

The start of the book had me interested, and I genuinely thought it could be a five star read. But sadly the mid section of this book just felt too long and didn't keep me interested.

I did like the characters, however I found myself getting a little frustrated with some repetitive sections.

Overall it was just fine for me. Parts of it were great, premise was great. It just didn't quite hit the mark for me.

This was way more adorable than I expected it to be. I can't wait to try more of Kristina Forest's books. I've smiled, rolled my eyes, and cried throughout this book and regret nothing except not reading it sooner.

Cute Young Adult fiction, but it was unnecessarily long. It drug on and on (probably to get a point across to the younger audience).

A good book I liked the little moments. It didn’t feel as long as the book is if that makes sense although it probably could’ve been shorter. I loved the characters and their development and the ending didn’t upset me so a solid 5 stars

While it did have a slow start, It was pretty enjoyable when the couple got together. What brought it down to 3 stars because of the final conflict. Sexual harassment not taken seriously. I hated it when it happen and just left a bad taste in my month. A kiss that one side of the couple sees and mistakes it as cheating. It felt like I was back reading Wattpad. I really liked it until that point.
