3,75 🌟 -arc- Releases Oct 11th!Â
The beginning of the book already interested me so much. You get thrown into the story, and there is immediately action. You don’t see that too often in romance books.Â
I really liked the story, and there is a lot of background and depth to the characters. Also, one of the mc’s is a writer and the other a book editor, and there is talk about publishing, which was really interesting to me! The side characters were also really nice.Â
Near the end the book had some emotional moments, so grab your tissues if you’re an emotional reader! I liked that I could really feel the sadness that was experienced for the characters.Â
What I didn’t really like was that is was not really atmospheric, like a small town romance for example. This is totally not the problem of the book, and it was not marketed as such, but just something I like. So I did learn that I do need something like that (college, small town, sports) in romance books.Â
There was one spicy scene that was just a bit weird to me. I have no idea if anyone alse experienced it that way, but if you know what scene i’m talking about, lmk (no spoilers for others pls)!Â
Some sentences got a little repetitive, and there were two characters who had really similar names, which was confusing.Â
But overall it was a good, fast-paced read, but for me it was not 5🌟. But I do get that it would be a 5🌟 read for others!Â
Also, it does have some trigger warnings, so check that out if needed.Â
Last, I want to thank Maeve Hazel for providing me this arc, and I think many people will really enjoy the book!Â
