A review by bookphenomena_micky
It Must Be Love by Caroline Khoury
slow-paced
1.5
Headlines:
Flat characters
So many missed opportunities
Convenience
This was a bookclub read and it's fair to say we all had a similar experience and feeling reading this which is interesting considering the high ratings for this book. Here's my feelings and experiences and most will be under a spoiler tag. There were too many convenient happenings, most of the characters were unlikeable to me and felt one-dimensional.
To be truthful, the writing was on the wall when Charlie's story of being jilted came up early, I was like oh no, she's gonna jilt him at some point. I could buy into Oz and Abbie for a few pages but even their first meeting was over-concidental. Fourteen years on and that did not get any better. What killed this book completely were those ending chapters. The shooting, the abelist outcome of that event and the pregnancy. I was done.
