The Love Square by Laura Jane Williams
- Loveable characters? No
2.25
sat down and forced myself to read this to get out of my reading slump. it took me about 2 hr 40 minutes but i managed it.
tbh it wasn't my favourite, i thought there were some weak spots and overall the ending was quite underwhelming. the perspective jumps in the middle of paragraphs was very confusing and it really did tell rather than show.
plus it just kept rehashing backstory that we'd just been told two chapter ago. justice for priyesh man. i also feel for clemmie, charlie and sharon who really honestly did not get any characterisation besides being there for penny rain or shine.
i didn't like that she got together with francesco, even when they were dating the first time she felt like something was missing and wrong and then she realised she didn't trust him at all but hey he's the only guy mentioned for the first half of the book so who else could have been the last man standing? also he was a bit of a dick, but then so were most people in this book.
but i did read the whole thing in one sitting, so there's that.
