I’ve now read the first three in the Bromance series and for me, this installment is the weakest. The other two were books I read in less than 24 hours. The pages practically turned themselves and I laughed out loud often as I read. They were just fun and heartfelt.

You’ll get some of that here, but something was off in the balance and development of the plot threads I think. I know this is a Rom Com, but I did not feel that the #MeToo element was treated seriously enough. Something jarred about the ending, with Liv and the book club swooping in to save the day and expose Royce in a kind of a goofy, half bungled climax. I’m not sure how you could write a #MeToo narrative with comedic elements successfully. It’s conceivable but it didn’t happen here.

Liv and Mack needed more airtime. Their connection was not as convincing as those of the central couples in the other books.

Still, there were some laughs and some fiery moments and I sure love the fellas in the Bookclub. It’s a great series and I will happily recommend it.

Sequel to The Bromance Bookclub, I have to admit that it took a bit for these characters to grow on me. Braden Mack's inner life was a bit too "perfect" for me and his noble nature didn't match up to his external character. I know these characters are always cliche but it took me awhile to settle in and enjoy this one. The second half of the book was more enjoyable to me and had me rooting for them all. It's great to "see" all our old friends again from the first book. Solid 4 for being exactly what this book is supposed to be.
