Borrowing Blue by Lucy Lennox
3.0
This was unlike any other mm book I've ever read. I feel like it was written like a typical rom/com book. It read almost like a chick lit.
At first I thought this was going to be a quick fluffy read, but then I was surprised by it's length, and also by how deep it actually was. I found Tristan to be so refreshing, i LOVED his go for it attitude. He knew what he wanted and he didn't let anything stand in his way. One of my pet peeves with these stories is when misunderstanding happen that are intentionally kept unresolved when a simple conversation in the moment would help clear the air. This didn't happen here. In fact, every time I believe it was Tristan who cleared things up between them. I just really loved them together. Despite how fast they fell in love, which is another pet peeve of mine, the way they fell in love felt so real and genuine.
While I did love the story and the character, and I do feel like I want to know more about the other Marian siblings, I did feel like there was just way too much here that could've been cut out. Instead of 50 chapters. I think it could've easily been 40. It wasn't TOO bad, but I totally skipped over parts I knew added nothing to the story. parts that felt like watching a movie, rather than reading a story.
All in all, really great start. I like this WAY better than the first book from the forever wilde series.
