This book wasn’t terrible. The story had good bones. I loved that the MC’s were in their mid 30’s. But there were so many little things that scratched at my brain and left a mark I couldn’t give it more than a 3 star rating.
The wording choices made by the author were pretty glaring to me by the end of the first chapter. There was so much yelling, shouting and barking. It’s not really how I like to see communication described, it all felt very…aggressive.
There were formatting errors, not a big deal but weird.
There were inconsistencies. Obvious ones like, are Liams eyes brown or blue?! Chapters 5 and 6 can’t agree. Or where the MC’s meet at 18:00. Jules has 2 beers, walks home and then quietly let himself in the apartment? So he doesn’t wake Nora…? Sheesh. Nitpicky I know but it had me scrolling back when my brains image of Liam didn’t jive with the information I was being given or I though I had missed a few pages.
The discomfort I felt over Jules wanting Liam to say he was gay after doubling down on his reassurance of commitment gave me the ick.
