Love at First Set by Jennifer Dugan

lighthearted reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I think my biggest downfall when it comes to romance books is that I expect there to be more of a focus on setting of the romance. In this case, I expected there to be more weightlifting involved and was disappointed there was very little. 

The found/chosen family aspect and the idea of putting your needs and wants first sometimes was good and it had potential, it just came after I'd already decided I didn't like Cara or James. This book could have benefited from having alternating POVs which is not something I would usually say, but I think I would have liked Cara (and possibly James as well) more if I'd been able to see some of the story through her.
