Stay with Me by S.E. Harmon
3.0
“They’re hazel. And they’re beautiful. Everything about you is beautiful. And I can’t believe you’re mine.”
I went into this expecting some laugh-out-loud moments and some steam. Well, I got one of those things. So many reviewers said this book was funny. And while I will concede that Mack's sarcasm is top notch, it wasn't enough to make me full on enjoy the book. I think my expectations kinda got the better of me.
Mac was flawed and interesting to get to know throughout the course of the book but I wish we could have gotten Jordan's POV. Half the book is just Mac's inner monologue. It annoyed me a little. And it also felt like the story was left incomplete. I was waiting for an epilogue and it didn't come. I feel like my biggest pet peeve in romance novels is not having an epilogue.
One thing I liked about the book is the couple. The author really made me believe in them and showed us through her words that they belong together. Their relationship development felt natural. I was fully rooting for them by the end of the book.
Despite feeling like this is not the kind of book that's going to stay with me, I could see how so many people loved it. I'm still gonna check out some of the author's other books because they do sound kind of interesting.
