On a Night Like This by Lindsey Kelk
4.0
The Cinderella story vibe was here from the beginning.
Ok things I loved: female characters were unforgivably bad ass. Fran was a hot mess in the best way. Evan was literally Prince Charming. It was funny. I gasped and dear god I wanted them to kiss so bad. The story was more about Fran finding herself rather than finding love. It was romcom esque BUT tried to be more realistic about really life. You can relationship jump, starting with infidelity is not a foundation, friendships (female especially) MATTER, family is important but it can be what you make not blood, and women are not defined by the men they love. So thank you Lindsey Kelk for letting me know my own worth as woman. <3
Okay now why it was 3.5/5 for me. I didn’t know this wasn’t going to be as romantic as I wanted going in. I’m not docking for that reason per say, but I do love romance in these books that are not alway realistic. I wanted so much more of the characters together! And I’m not even going to lie I wanted more spice which is entirely my own fault for not looking into.
Upon further decision this stays at 4/5 because it was exactly what it was supposed to be.
