But also I really enjoy getting the other human's thoughts and feelings when reading a romance and when they have spicy scenes... And I think I seem to get annoyed about being in one person's head when doubting and rehashing things time and time again... Though I didn't have too much experience in single POVs in romance. So I think I'm coming out neutral on the one single POV story telling.
I didn't like
- Calling them January and Augustus... almost made me *uke (sorry Gus).
- I found January annoying and a little difficult to find smth beneath the surface (her being anything else than a product of her surroundings' situations/her environment)
- In my opinion the love story was little too easy
- the final 3rd act conflict... well I'm still waiting for an actual good one in any romance books I read so this is not only a beach read thing
I enjoyed
+ Friendship between J. and S.
+ quick, funny and intelligent banter
+ writing style
+ Didn't expect the whole plot point about research for each other's genre, which added a layer of depth to it I enjoyed.
+ Reflections on writing / authors ...
+ talk about the romance genre
Spice /Smut level:
1.75-2/5🔥
