Things We've Lost and Found by Ally Williams

3.0

I was gifted an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Things We’ve Lost and Found follows the main characters, Annabel and Charlie, as they attempt to satisfy their desire for each other while avoiding attachment by agreeing to be nothing more than friends-with-benefits.

I loved the premise and I wanted to love the book, and while I enjoyed some scenes, others felt either rushed or too drawn out with no clear pay-off.

I wanted to know the characters better, to understand their motivations more. There were gaping holes in some of the subplots and unfortunately I left the book feeling unsatisfied.

The spice was moderate, and relatively well written, but also felt rushed at times.

Overall I feel it could have been a fuller story with more character development. But it had some fun moments and I really liked the MCs. I just wish I could have known them better.

Thank you to Ally and the publisher for the ARC.
