Twice Shy by Sarah Hogle
1.0
• another big flop. This feels like a book written by a teenager about 30 year olds. The writing and the relationship were incredibly immature and the fmc put up with so much shit from the love interest because he has social anxiety and a list of other issues that he doesn’t share with her until it’s waaay too late.
• the gist of the story is a woman gets catfished by her “friend,” and then inherits a house from her dead aunt and the catfish picture guy is the groundskeeper and they inherited everything 50/50.
• he is supposedly the grumpy sunshine trope but he’s honestly just kind of a rude asshole. He uses his social anxiety as an excuse to be rude and not speak to people, won’t go in public for anything, and they planned a trip to Scotland with her, doesn’t tell her he’s claustrophobic so he freaks out and leaves her on the plane alone… and she calls and tells him it’s okay I love you. Like. Get fucking real lmfaoo.
