Working It Out by Jo Platt

3.0

I enjoyed this book, but do have some mixed feelings about it. While it’s partially categorized as a romance, I would just call it women’s fiction. The romance really doesn’t begin until more than 80% of the way through the book and even then, there’s not much of it. The writing is good, but so much of the story happens because of a misunderstanding/lie told to the main character. I wish the pacing had been a bit different, with the main character finding out the truth earlier on and more of her and the love interest getting to know each other.
I like that the main character is extremely likeable, even though she acts under misconceptions for a good portion of the book. The cast of characters was fun, and the villain was suitably unlikeable.
Thank you to NetGalley and Canelo for providing me access to this eARC for my honest opinion!
