Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Beach Read

kopumā vērtēju grāmatu kā ļoti labu! domāju, ka tā būs vēl viena booktok grāmata, kura ir tik ļoti saslavēta internetā, bet beigu beigās nekas īpašs vien ir, bet patiesībā biju patīkami pārsteigta.
bija ļoti daudz momentu, kuros sasmējos, dialogi patiešām interesanti un gusta & janvāres dynamic bija baudāms.
vienīgais biju maaaazliet vīlusies beigās - gaidīju ko vairāk, likās, ka gusts būs uzrakstījis grāmatu par janvāri & attiecībām ar viņu, vismaz kaut kā iepinis, bet tā galu galā nebija.
AHHHHH one of the greatest love confessions from a man i have EVER seen! un smut scenes, par brīnumu, bija labi.
i will ALWAYS eat the grumpy vs sunshine trope up!

I DNF this book a while ago and then found it agains to complete in full. Honestly not my favorite. I’m unsure what about Gus we are supposed to find attractive but his crooked smile, constant jaw twitching, eye movements and wrinkled shirts don’t appeal to me. Also, why are the marketing people applying tropes that don’t exist to this book? They aren’t enemies nor rivals in the slightest. It’s all one sided. Plus the constant

flashback to one random college night of dancing infuriated me. We get it - y’all danced. That’s not profound. Also- how are fictional men not doing foreplay & just magically being able to have pleasing sec? Why did January not insist on this?

The banter at times was funny but January also had a lot going on & I was concerned with the amount of times she kept wincing at her bank account but still had money ? Idk my feelings are all over the place but this isn’t a rom com. Literary fiction but there’s better.
