A review by attackrat
Swift and Saddled by Lyla Sage
Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
This is small town, just tacky small town. It’s shallow and cliche and not even in a fun way.
Also, Ada is rude to literally every new person she meets, and they all still like her. It’s not believable and antithetical to the actual experience of being in a small town, where all it takes is one slight or difference to cause a divide. I think her whole thing is supposed to be insecurity but that only works if she isn’t actually as unpleasant as she thinks she is. Wes’s issues are so surface level, and there is no real conflict between them besides her fighting their attraction for seemingly no reason.
